Abstract:
A first metal layer of a semiconductor device includes a plurality of first metal lines that each extend along a first axis, and a first rail structure that extends along the first axis. The first rail structure is physically separated from the first metal lines. A second metal layer is located over the first metal layer. The second metal layer includes a plurality of second metal lines that each extend along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis, and a second rail structure that extends along the first axis. The second rail structure is physically separated from the second metal lines. The second rail structure is located directly over the first rail structure. A plurality of vias is located between the first metal layer and the second metal layer. A subset of the vias electrically interconnects the first rail structure to the second rail structure.

Claim (Index 18):
The semiconductor device of  claim 14 , wherein:\n the first rail structure or the second rail structure has a first dimension measured in the second direction; the first metal lines each have a second dimension measured in the second direction, the first dimension being at least several times larger than the second dimension; the third rail structure or the fourth rail structure has a third dimension measured in the second direction; and the second metal lines each have a fourth dimension measured in the first direction, the third dimension being larger than the fourth dimension.
