Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an integrated circuit that includes metal conducting lines in a metal layer over an insulation layer on a substrate.
- Metal conducting lines are arranged in an array.
- A first metal segment lineup is present between two metal conducting lines in the array.
- An electric circuit is connected to the first and second metal conducting lines.
- The first and second metal conducting lines have equal lengths.
Original Abstract Submitted
An integrated circuit includes an array of metal conducting lines in a metal layer overlying an insulation layer supported by a substrate, a first metal segment lineup having multiple metal segments in the metal layer between a first metal conducting line and a second metal conducting line in the array of metal conducting lines, and an electric circuit having a first input and a second input. The first input is connected to the first metal conducting line and the second input is connected to the second metal conducting line, and a first length of the first metal conducting line is equal to a second length of the second metal conducting line.
