1. A conductive line formed on a surface of a substrate, the upper surface of the substrate comprising an insulating layer in which is formed several parallel grooves of predetermined width, the conductive line including:
- a first interconnection layer of a first thickness; and
a second interconnection layer of a second thickness, the predetermined width being greater than twice the greatest of the two thicknesses, and smaller than twice the sum of the thickness.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a conductive line on an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit includes an insulating layer in which is formed several grooves of predetermined width. The conductive line includes a first interconnection layer having a first thickness and a second interconnection layer having a second thickness. The predetermined width is greater than twice the greatest of the two thicknesses, and smaller than twice the sum of the thicknesses.

3. An integrated circuit comprising:
-
an insulating layer in which are formed several grooves that are each distanced from one another and of predetermined width; and
a conductive line comprising;
a first interconnection layer disposed over the insulating layer, portions of the first interconnection layer extending into each of the grooves such that the portions of the first connection layer are electrically connected together, the first interconnection layer having a first thickness, and a second interconnection layer disposed over the first interconnection layer and electrically connected to the first interconnection layer, the second interconnection layer having a second thickness;
wherein the predetermined width of each of the grooves is greater than twice the greatest of the two thicknesses, and smaller than twice the sum of the thicknesses. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
