Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device, comprising: a first linear-shaped conductive structure defined in a given chip level of the semiconductor device, the first linear-shaped conductive structure having a lengthwise centerline oriented in a first direction, the first linear-shaped conductive structure having a width measured in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; a second linear-shaped conductive structure defined in the given chip level of the semiconductor device, the second linear-shaped conductive structure having a lengthwise centerline oriented in the first direction, the second linear-shaped conductive structure having a width measured in the second direction; and a third linear-shaped conductive structure defined in the given chip level of the semiconductor device, the third linear-shaped conductive structure having a lengthwise centerline oriented in the first direction, the third linear-shaped conductive structure having a width measured in the second direction, the width of the first linear-shaped conductive structure substantially equal to the width of the third linear-shaped conductive structure, the width of the second linear-shaped conductive structure greater than the width of the first linear-shaped conductive structure, at least a portion of the second linear-shaped conductive structure positioned in a side-by-side manner with at least a portion of the first linear-shaped conductive structure, the side-by-side positioned portions of the first and second linear-shaped conductive structure separated from each other by a first distance as measured in the second direction, and at least a portion of the second linear-shaped conductive structure positioned in a side-by-side manner with at least a portion of the third linear-shaped conductive structure, the side-by-side positioned portions of the second and third linear-shaped conductive structures separated from each other by the first distance as measured in the second direction.
