Abstract:
1. A device, comprising: an integrated circuit device, comprising: a first conductive layer disposed on a substrate; a second conductive layer on the first conductive layer, electrically connected to the first conductive layer; a bond pad on the second conductive layer and providing an electrical connection to the integrated circuit device; a connective layer, interposing the first and second conductive layer, wherein the connective layer includes a contiguous, conductive structure with a planar path of the conductive material of the connective layer extending from a first lateral sidewall of the conductive layer to a second lateral sidewall of the conductive layer, wherein the planar path is substantially parallel to a top surface of the substrate and wherein the planar path of the conductive material physically contacts at least one of the second conductive layer and the first conductive layer, wherein the connective layer further includes a dielectric region surrounded by a portion of the contiguous, conductive structure, and wherein a conductive via is disposed in the dielectric region; and conductive plugs extending from the bond pad to the second conductive layer.
