Abstract
An integrated circuit that reduces spacing between circuitry and a bus. In accordance with this invention, the bus is a strip of conductive material in a layer of the integrated circuit. The layer includes at least one slot that removes conductive material from the bus. The removal of the conductive material in the slot allows the space between circuitry adjacent the bus and the bus to be reduced.
