An integrated circuit includes an interconnection part with a via level situated between a lower metallization level and an upper metallization level. The lower metallization level is covered by an insulating encapsulation layer. An electrical discontinuity between a first via of the via level and a first metal track of the lower metallization level is provided at the level of the insulating encapsulation layer. The electrical discontinuity is formed prior to formation of any via of the via level and prior to any metal track of the upper metallization level. The electrical discontinuity may comprise: a portion of an additional insulating layer extending over the insulating encapsulation layer; a portion of the insulating encapsulation layer; or an insulating oxide on a top surface of the first metal track.
