Abstract
An integrated circuit process includes the following steps. A substrate including a first area and a second area is provided. A plurality of line patterns cover the substrate of the first area, and a sacrificial line pattern covers the substrate of the second area, wherein these line patterns separate from and are orthogonal to the sacrificial line pattern. The present invention also provides an integrated circuit formed by said process. A substrate includes a first area and a second area; a plurality of line patterns cover the substrate of the first area; a slot pattern is in the substrate of the second area, wherein these line patterns are orthogonal to the slot pattern. Additionally, a plurality of line patterns cover the substrate; a sacrificial line pattern is at ends of the line patterns, wherein these line patterns separate from and are orthogonal to the sacrificial line pattern.
