Patent ID: 6841736

Claim:
A current-carrying electronic component comprising: a substrate; and a current-carrying structure over the substrate and comprising: a first electrically conductive layer; a second electrically conductive layer in electrical contact with the first electrically conductive layer along substantially an entire length of the first electrically conductive layer, the length of the first electrically conductive layer measured along a longest dimension of the first electrically conductive layer; and a non-electrically conductive layer in contact with the first electrically conductive layer and the second electrically conductive layer, wherein: a current travels simultaneously through the first electrically conductive layer and the second electrically conductive layer; and the second electrically conductive layer is above the first electrically conductive layer; all of the non-electrically conductive layer is under the second electrically conductive layer; and all of the non-electrically conductive layer is over the first electrically conductive layer.
