An integrated circuit comprises a first layer on a first level. The first layer comprises a set of first lines. The first lines each have a length and a width. The length of each of the first lines is greater than the width. The integrated circuit also comprises a second layer on a second level different from the first level. The second layer comprises a set of second lines. The second lines each have a length and a width. The length of each of the second lines is greater than the width. The integrated circuit further comprises a coupling configured to connect at least one first line of the set of first lines with at least one second line of the set of second lines. The coupling has a length and a width. The set of second lines has a pitch measured between the lines of the set of second lines in the first direction. The length of the first coupling is greater than or equal to the pitch.
