International ClassH01L 021/283AbstractA method for fabricating a metallurgy system is described wherein a first level of metallurgy is formed, having a plurality of close uniformly spaced conductive line of a predetermined width, and wherein there are included larger gaps between the conductive lines. The areas in the larger gaps are filled with dummy lines, where the gap is equal to or greater than three times the feature size or alternatively the width of the conductive lines.Other References
