Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to arrangements of one or more 'cuts' or pattern of cuts in conductive structures. Wiring layers may each include a cut pattern including a set of cuts through conductive structures of the wiring layers where each of the cuts is offset from the other in a direction orthogonal to the cut. The cut pattern in a wiring layer may be orthogonal to the cut pattern in another wiring layer. In some examples, the cut pattern may be a stair-step pattern. In some examples, the cut pattern may be interrupted by other conductive structures.
