US Patent 9727683 Integrated circuit having a plurality of conductive segments

An integrated circuit includes a cell and a first plurality of conductive segments. Each of the first plurality of conductive segments has a first predetermined width, and the first plurality of conductive segments includes a first conductive segment, and a second conductive segment. The first conductive segment and the second conductive segment are coupled to the cell to transmit a signal, and a distance between the first conductive segment and the second conductive segment is greater than the first predetermined width.
