Abstract
An interconnect structure and method for forming the same for electrically connecting a main contact point with a plurality of use points. The interconnect structure includes a uniform high resistance layer. A low resistance layer is formed on the uniform high resistance layer. The low resistance layer defines first and second conductors extending between a main contact point and corresponding first and second use points. The first conductor has a corresponding conductor width that is, at least in part, based on a resistance between the first and second conductors.
