    摘要: A step height between first and second elevated conductive lines that are laterally spaced apart on an integrated circuit substrate may be reduced by forming a dummy conductive line beneath the second conductive line, to further elevate the second conductive line on the integrated circuit substrate. Depth-of-focus may thereby be improved so that reliability of the conductive lines may also be improved. The second conductive line and the dummy conductive line vertically overlap by an amount that is less than one half the width of the second conductive line. Thus, the capacitance between the second conductive line and the dummy conductive line may be reduced. Undue delay therefore need not be created by introduction of the dummy conductive line.
