An integrated circuit may be formed by a process of forming a three interconnect patterns in a plurality of parallel route tracks, using photolithography processes which have illumination sources capable of a pitch distance twice the pitch distance of the parallel route tracks. The first interconnect pattern includes a first lead pattern which extends to a first point. The second interconnect pattern includes a second lead pattern which is parallel to and immediately adjacent to the first lead pattern. The third interconnect pattern includes a third lead pattern which is parallel to and immediately adjacent to the second pattern and which extends to a second point in the first instance of the parallel route tracks, laterally separated from the first point by a distance less than one and one-half times a space between adjacent patterns in the parallel route tracks.
