First Claim
Patent Images
1. In an integrated circuit arrangement including a semiconductor body having a plurality of electrically separated components formed therein adjacent one main surface and an insulating layer on said one main surface and covering said components except for openings for connections to same while leaving a part of said one main surface exposed, the improvement comprising:
- a metal path disposed on said one main surface with at least a portion of said metal path running directly on said exposed part of said one main surface of said semiconductor body and with said portion being longer than any portion of said metal path which runs exclusively on the surface of said insulating layer.
