Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments for various via pillar structures include one or more first conductors in a first interconnect layer of a semiconductor stack interconnected with one or more second conductors in a second interconnect layer of the semiconductor stack. The one or more first conductors and/or the one or more second conductors within the first interconnect layer and the second interconnect layer, respectively, can traverse multiple directions. In some situations, this allows multiple interconnections to be utilized to interconnect the one or more first conductors and the one or more second conductors. These multiple interconnections can reduce resistance between the one or more first conductors and the one or more second conductors thereby improving performance of signals flowing between the one or more first conductors and the one or more second conductors.

Claim (Index 13):
The via pillar structure of  claim 9 , wherein a first segment from among the one or more first segments overlaps a second segment from among the one or more second segments at approximate endpoints of the second segment, and\n wherein at least one via structure from among the plurality of via structures is situated between the approximate endpoints to connect the first segment and the second segment.
