Abstract

The present application discloses a semiconductor integrated circuit including a substrate having electrical devices formed thereon, a local interconnection layer formed over the substrate, and a global interconnection layer formed over the local interconnection layer. The local interconnection layer has a first set of conductive structures arranged to electrically connect within the individual electrical devices, among one of the electrical devices and its adjacent electrical devices, or vertically between the devices and the global interconnection layer. At least one of the first set of conductive structures is configured to have a resistance value greater than 50 ohms. The global interconnection layer has a second set of conductive structures arranged to electrically interconnect the electrical devices via the first set conductive structures.
