Abstract:
Methods are disclosed herein for fabricating integrated circuit interconnects that can improve electromigration. An exemplary method includes forming a first metal layer of an integrated circuit and forming a second metal layer of the integrated circuit. The first metal layer includes a first conductor electrically coupled to a second conductor, and the second metal layer includes a third conductor electrically coupled to the first conductor. The first conductor, the second conductor, and the third conductor are configured, such that electrons flow from the second conductor to an area of the first conductor where electrons flow from the third conductor to the first conductor.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of  claim 12 , wherein the second trench includes lower portions that define the first via and the second via and upper portions that define the first conductor and the second conductor, such that the via layer is formed when the first wiring layer is formed.
