Abstract
An integrated circuit (IC chip) has features such as conductive lines. The features have a thickness “T”, a width “W”, and a distance (spacing) “S” between adjacent features, and one or more of the following aspect ratio relationships: a ratio of width:thickness (W/T) is less than or equal to 0.7:1; a ratio of width:spacing (W:S) is less than or equal to 0.7:1; and a ratio of thickness:spacing (T:S) is less than or equal to 0.1:1. These relationships are particularly applicable to ICs having a feature geometry (width) of less than 0.16 microns and operating at less than 1.8 volts. An IC incorporating such features is suitably included in a system or subsystem having electrical functionality, such as general purpose computers, telecommunications devices, and the like.
