Abstract

An integrated distribution wiring system for a semiconductor substrate having a number of devices. The distribution system includes additional stripes which are arranged parallel to existing rails carrying power or signals to the devices. These stripes being separable from the rails may be used to make engineering changes such as repairs or modifications of the circuits in the devices or characterizing or diagnosing the devices.
