Abstract
A conductive interconnection for an integrate circuit between a protected node and a protecting node and its method are disclosed. The conductive interconnection comprises a stacking connector, a routing connector and a top conductive line. The stacking connector is formed to connect the protected node, which is constructed by at least one inner conductive line and at least one conductive plug, alternately. The inner conductive line has a length lower than a threshold value constrained by antenna effect. Moreover, the routing connector, extending toward the stacking connector, is formed to connect the protecting node. The top conductive line is used to connect the stacking connector and the routing connector. Accordingly, the protected node is disconnected from the protecting node prior to the formation of the top conductive line.
