Abstract:
An integrated semiconductor chip, comprisingmetal interconnects having a first region and a second region and, including, at least one first metal interconnect of a first metallization plane and a second metal interconnect of a second metallization plane running parallel to said first metallization plane; said first and second regions of said first and second metal interconnects each having edges, said edges of said first regions of said first and second metal interconnects being disposed orthogonally with respect to one another, and said edges of said second regions of said first and second metal interconnects being disposed parallel to one another; said edges of said first and second regions of said first metal interconnect being disposed at an oblique angle to one another and said edges of said first and second regions of said second metal interconnect being disposed at an oblique angle to one another; and at least one electrically conductive contact point disposed between said first and second metal interconnects, and said first and second metal interconnects not being contact-connected to one another by said contact point in said first region, and said first and second metal interconnects being contact-connected to one another by said contact point in said second region.
