Abstract: An integrated circuit includes blocks and global lines overlying the blocks. The blocks include a plurality of levels including two dimensional arrays of memory cells having horizontal lines and being intersected by vertical lines coupled to corresponding memory cells. Levels include contact pads communicating with horizontal lines for a given block. The global lines include connectors. Connectors coupled to given global lines are coupled to landing areas on corresponding contact pads of the blocks. The blocks include first and second blocks disposed so that a first set of the contact pads associated with the first block are next to a second set of contact pads associated with the second block. The landing areas of the contact pads of the first and second blocks are mirror image surfaces of one another. The horizontal lines can be bit lines and the vertical lines can be word lines.
