INTEGRATED CIRCUIT HAVING SLOT VIA AND METHOD OF FORMING THE SAME

摘要

An integrated circuit includes a first conductive line on the first metal level of the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit further includes a second conductive line on the second metal level of the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit further includes a slot via which electrically connects the first conductive line and the second conductive line. The slot via is overlapped with first conducive line and the second conductive line. The slot via is extended beyond the periphery of at least one of the first conductive line and the second conductive line. So, the power consumption of the integrated circuit can be reduced.
