Patent ID: 7332812

Claim:
A semiconductor device, comprising: a workpiece having a first circuit element and a second circuit element formed thereon, the first circuit element comprising a first contact region, the second circuit element comprising a second contact region; a first conductive feature disposed proximate the first circuit element, the first conductive feature including an end that is disposed over and makes electrical contact to the first contact region of the first circuit element, the end of the first conductive feature extending from the first conductive feature past the first contact region of the first circuit element by a first distance; and a second conductive feature disposed proximate the second circuit element, the second conductive feature including an end that is disposed over and makes electrical contact to the second contact region of the second circuit element, the end of the second conductive feature extending from the second conductive feature past the second contact region of the second circuit element by a second distance, the second distance being different than the first distance.
