Semiconductor devices having conductive lines with extended ends and
methods of extending conductive line ends by a variable distance are
disclosed. An end of a first conductive feature of an interconnect
structure is extended by a first distance, and an end of a second
conductive feature of the interconnect structure is extended by a second
distance, the second distance being different than the first distance.
Ends of conductive features that are positioned close to adjacent
conductive features are preferably not extended.
