IC HAVING VIABAR INTERCONNECTION AND RELATED METHOD

摘要

An IC including first metal layer having wiring running in a first direction; a second metal layer having wiring running in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; and a first via layer between the first metal layer and the second metal layer, the first via layer including a viabar interconnecting the first metal layer to the second metal layer at a first location where the first metal layer vertically coincides with the second metal layer and, at a second location, connecting to wiring of the first metal layer but not wiring of the second metal layer.
