/Local Interconnect
Abstract

Semiconductor structures and methods are provided. A semiconductor structure according to the present disclosure includes a first metal line extending along a first direction, a second metal line lengthwise aligned with and spaced apart from the first metal line, and a third metal line extending along the first direction. The third metal line includes a branch extending along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and the branch partially extends between the first metal line and the second metal line.
