Abstract

See full text

An integrated circuit includes electrical components that include one or more electrical elements on one or more dielectric layers. The electrical element has a geometric shape that exceeds prescribed integrated circuit manufacturing limits in at least one dimension. To achieve compliance with foundry rules, the electrical element is fabricated to include a non-conducting region that negligibly effects the electrical characteristics. The non-conducting region includes a hole, a series of holes, a slot and/or a series of slots spaced within the electrical element at dimensions that are less than the integrated circuit manufacturing limits.
