Integrated circuit having electrical connecting elements

An integrated circuit, comprising:

• electrical connecting elements each having one of a first conductivity state and a second conductivity state different from said first conductivity state, said first and second conductivity states being brought about by impressing energy;
• a substrate having a substrate surface with a first extension direction and a second extension direction running perpendicular to said first extension direction;
• first and second connecting elements of said electrical connecting elements, as seen in said second extension direction, being disposed next to one another above said substrate surface in a first wiring plane, said first connecting element having an end, said second connecting element having an end;
• third and fourth connecting elements of said electrical connecting elements, as substantially seen in said second extension direction, being disposed next to one another on said substrate surface, said third electrical connecting element having an end, said fourth electrical connecting element having an end, said ends of said third and fourth connecting elements being spaced apart along said first extension direction from said ends of said first and second electrical connecting elements;
• said first electrical connecting element, as seen in said second direction, being at a first distance from said second electrical connecting element;
• a first interconnect:
• being disposed above said substrate surface;
• being connected to said first electrical connecting element;
• and
• being disposed in said first wiring plane;
• a second interconnect:
• being disposed above said substrate surface;
• being connected to said second electrical connecting element;
• and
• being disposed at least partly in a second wiring plane located nearer to said substrate surface than said first wiring plane;
• and
• said first and said second interconnects:
• being disposed between said third and fourth electrical connecting elements;
• and
• defining a second distance therebetween smaller than said first distance.
