Abstract
Multiple damascene layers in integrated circuits can form several advantageous designs or components that may lower cost or increase performance of certain designs. In embodiments for power bus signals, multiple damascene layers may be used to form traces with increased power capacity and lower cost. In other embodiments, multiple damascene layers may be used to form components such as capacitors and inductors with increased performance.
