    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and structures for implementing interconnect modeling by using a test structure which include a variation of physical wire structures between local interconnects and distant interconnects. According to one approach, the impact of variations of the physical properties for neighborhood wires are considered for the electrical modeling of interconnects. This variation between the local and distant wire characteristics allows more accurate and robust interconnect modeling to be created.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit has a metal layer that includes conductors to provide interconnectivity for components of the integrated circuit chip. The metal layer is divided into at least two sections, such that a first section has a preferred direction and the second section has a preferred wiring direction that is different from the first preferred direction. The first and second preferred directions on a single metal layer may consist of any direction. The metal layer may be divided into more than two sections, wherein each section has a preferred wiring direction. Wiring geometries for multi-level metal layers are also disclosed.
