Abstract:
Examples of an integrated circuit a having an advanced two-dimensional (2D) metal connection with metal cut and methods of fabricating the same are provided. An example method for fabricating a conductive interconnection layer of an integrated circuit may include: patterning a conductive connector portion on the conductive interconnection layer of the integrated circuit using extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, wherein the conductive connector portion is patterned to extend across multiple semiconductor structures in a different layer of the integrated circuit; and cutting the conductive connector portion into a plurality of conductive connector sections, wherein the conductive connector portion is cut by removing conductive material from the metal connector portion at one or more locations between the semiconductor structures.

Claim (Index 9):
The integrated circuit of  claim 8 , further comprising:\n via interconnections between the conductive interconnection layer and the first integrated circuit layer that electrically connect each of the plurality of conductive connector sections to different ones of the plurality of semiconductor structures.
