Metal Layers and Thickness...

Generally higher metal layers (i.e. interconnects) have higher thickness (i.e. height) and higher dielectric layers have higher permittivity. Hence these wires display the highest inter-wire capacitance. Hence use it for global signals that are not sensitive to interference. (eg. Supply rails). Or it is advisable to separate wires by an amount that is larger than minimum spacing.
