The present invention relates to metallization line layouts that minimize focus offset sensitivity by a substantial elimination of thin isolated metallization line segments that are inadequately patterned during formation of a mask. The present invention also relates to a metallization line layout that staggers unavoidable exposures. Embodiments of these metallization line layouts include enhanced terminal ends of isolated metallization lines, filled inter-metallization line spaces, and additional "dummy" metal shapes in open areas. The present invention also relates to a method of forming a metallization layer such that a substantially deposited, planarized interlayer dieletric layer can be formed without etchback or chemical-mechanical polishing
