Abstract
A conductor track configuration for very large-scale integrated circuits includes at least two lower conductor tracks extending substantially in a first direction and at least two upper conductor tracks extending substantially in the first direction above the lower conductor tracks. Each of the lower conductor tracks is subdivided into segments, defining gaps between the segments. Each respective one of the segments has one contact leading to the upper conductor track disposed above the one segment. The lower conductor tracks adjacent the segments, as seen in a second direction, have one of the gaps at least in the vicinity of one of the contacts.
Claims11
A conductor track configuration for very large-scale integrated circuits, comprising:
- a plurality of lower conductor tracks extending substantially in a first direction and being disposed side by side as seen in a second direction;
- at least two upper conductor tracks extending substantially in the first direction above said lower conductor tracks;
- and
- an insulating layer disposed between respective ones of said upper and lower conductor tracks;
- each of said lower conductor tracks being subdivided into segments, defining gaps between said segments;
- each respective one of said segments having one contact leading to said upper conductor track disposed above said one segment;
- and
- said gaps being formed substantially between two contacts of adjacent ones of said conductor tracks.
