Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method for forming metal interconnects in an integrated circuit (IC). The method includes placing a metal interconnect in a layout area, determining a location of a redundant portion of the metal interconnect, and reducing, at the location, the length of the metal interconnect by a length of the redundant portion to form one or more active portions of the metal interconnect. The length of the redundant portion is a function of a distance between adjacent gate structures of the IC. The method further includes forming the one or more active portions on an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer of the IC and forming vias on the one or more active portions, wherein the vias are positioned about 3 nm to about 5 nm away from an end of the one or more active portions.
