Abstract
Some embodiments include an integrated assembly having a pair of substantially parallel features spaced from one another by an intervening space. A conductive pipe is between the features and substantially parallel to the features. The conductive pipe may be formed within a tube. The tube may be generated by depositing insulative material between the features in a manner which pinches off a top region of the insulative material to leave the tube as a void region under the pinched-off top region.

A method of forming an integrated assembly, comprising:
- forming first and second features spaced from one another by an intervening space;
- the first and second features being substantially parallel to one another;
- forming a dielectric material within the intervening space, the dielectric material pinching off at a top of the intervening space to form a tube which extends substantially parallel to the first and second features;
- and
- forming conductive material within the tube to thereby pattern a conductive pipe within the tube;
- the conductive pipe being substantially parallel to the first and second features.
