Abstract
A layout structure of the interconnection layers of a semiconductor device includes a plurality of conducting lines extending adjacent one another, and at least one rectangular cut-out formed in a side of each of the conducting lines, wherein a width of gap between adjacent ones of the plurality of conducting lines is increased at each rectangular cut-out. The rectangular cut-out serves to increase the space between adjacent conducting lines so as to secure a proper gap there between upon deposition of a passivation layer.
