Patent ID: 8836141

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: at least two components; a conductor line connecting said at least two components, said conductor line including parallel edges; insulator materials substantially surrounding said conductor line; and an inward extending notch disposed on a first edge of said parallel edges and extending inwardly from said first edge at a first lengthwise location along a length of said conductor line, and an outward extending notch disposed on said first edge and extending outwardly from said first edge at a second lengthwise location along said conductor line and spaced from said first lengthwise location, wherein said conductor line is coupled to a via at said first lengthwise location and said via is spaced from said inward extending notch, and a second edge of said parallel edges is a continuous straight line extending from said first lengthwise location to said second lengthwise location, wherein said via is disposed completely between said inward extending notch and said second edge at said first lengthwise location, and further comprising a further via disposed between said outward extending notch and said second edge at said second lengthwise location.
