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 1):
A semiconductor device, comprising:\n a first rail that extends in a first direction; a second rail that extends in the first direction; a plurality of first metal lines disposed between the first rail and the second rail in a top view, wherein the first metal lines each extends in the first direction; a third rail that extends in the first direction; a fourth rail that extends in the first direction; a plurality of second metal lines disposed between the third rail and the fourth rail in the top view, wherein the second metal lines each extends in a second direction different from the first direction; a plurality of first vias that are disposed between the first rail and the third rail; and a plurality of second vias that are disposed between the second rail and the fourth rail.
