Abstract
A connecting bar electrically connects separate circuit zones of an integrated circuit. The connecting bar is formed by a main portion that is a conductive strip extending above separate circuit zones to be interconnected. The conductive strip is separated from the integrated circuit by a dielectric except at the circuit zones to be interconnected. The connecting bar further includes secondary portions that are conductive pads passing through the dielectric in a vertical direction from the circuit zone to the conductive strip.
