Connections for memory electrode lines

An integrated circuit device, comprising:

• a plurality of staggered electrode lines formed at a first vertical level and extending in a first lateral direction, wherein each of the electrode lines is connected at a respective socket interconnect region to a metallization level at a second vertical level different from the first vertical level,
• wherein at least one of the electrode lines is connected at a first socket interconnect region and at least another one of the electrode lines is connected at a second socket interconnect region that is shifted in the first direction relative to the first socket interconnect region by between about 5% and about 20% of a length of the electrode lines.

A memory device, comprising:

• a plurality of electrode lines extending in a first lateral direction and having a first pitch in a second lateral direction crossing the first lateral direction, wherein each electrode line is connected at a respective vertical connection position in the first lateral direction, wherein vertical connection positions of at least some of the electrode lines periodically repeat in the second direction at a periodicity that is greater than three times the first pitch.

A memory array, comprising:

• a plurality of electrode lines formed at a first vertical level and extending in a first lateral direction to traverse a plurality of array patches and a plurality of socket interconnect regions, each patch being an array region formed between laterally adjacent ones of the socket interconnect regions in the first direction, wherein the electrode lines include digit lines and word lines that cross each other in the patches but do not not cross each other in the socket interconnect regions,
• wherein each of the electrode lines is vertically connected at one of the socket interconnect regions to a metallization level formed at a second vertical level, wherein connection positions of adjacent ones or adjacent groups of the electrode lines are laterally offset from each other in the first direction and are periodically repeating in a second lateral direction crossing the first direction,
• wherein a periodicity of the periodically repeating positions is greater than a pitch of the electrode lines multiplied by a number of patches traversed by the electrode lines.
