Abstract: An integrated circuit for reducing the electromigration effect. The IC includes a substrate and a power transistor which has first and second source/drain regions. The IC further includes first, second, and third electrically conductive line segments being (i) directly above the first source/drain region and (ii) electrically coupled to the first source/drain region through first contact regions and second contact regions, respectively. The first and second electrically conductive line segments (i) reside in a first interconnect layer of the integrated circuit and (ii) run in the reference direction. The IC further includes an electrically conductive line being (i) directly above the first source/drain region, (ii) electrically coupled to the first and second electrically conductive line segments through a first via and a second via, respectively, (iii) resides in a second interconnect layer of the integrated circuit, and (iv) runs in the reference direction.

Abstract: A through-wafer via structure and method for forming the same. The through-wafer via structure includes a wafer having an opening and a top wafer surface. The top wafer surface defines a first reference direction perpendicular to the top wafer surface. The through-wafer via structure further includes a through-wafer via in the opening. The through-wafer via has a shape of a rectangular plate. A height of the through-wafer via in the first reference direction essentially equals a thickness of the wafer in the first reference direction. A length of the through-wafer via in a second reference direction is at least ten times greater than a width of the through-wafer via in a third reference direction. The first, second, and third reference directions are perpendicular to each other.
