Patent ID: 8072071

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a chip comprising a contact element; a structured dielectric layer over the chip; and a conductive element coupled to the contact element, the conductive element comprising a first portion embedded in the structured dielectric layer such that sidewalls and a bottom of the first portion directly contact the structured dielectric layer, a second portion at least partially spaced apart from the first portion and embedded in the structured dielectric layer such that sidewalls and a bottom of the second portion directly contact the structured dielectric layer, and a planar third portion contacting a top of the structured dielectric layer and extending at least vertically over the first portion and the second portion, the third portion directly contacting a top of the first portion and a top of the second portion, wherein the first portion comprises a first line parallel to the planar third portion, and wherein the second portion comprises a second line parallel to the planar third portion.
