Abstract

A semiconductor integrated circuit having a multilayer wiring structure is provided which includes: a top metal wiring layer (MTOP) including a plurality of top layer power supply wirings and a next-to-top metal wiring layer (MTOP-1) directly below the top metal wiring layer MTOP including a plurality of next-to-top layer power supply wirings. Each of the top layer and the next-to-top layer power supply wirings also includes first potential wirings for supplying a first potential to the circuit elements and second potential wirings for supplying a second potential to the circuit elements. The top layer power supply wirings and the next-to-top layer power supply wirings cross each other and have a top layer insulating film disposed between them. First and second contacts are provided in the insulating film for connecting the first potential wirings and second potential wirings in the top and the next-to-top metal wiring layers with each other.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority from Japanese Application No. 2005-325508 filed on November 10, 2005, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0002] The invention relates to a semiconductor integrated circuit operating at low voltage and high speed, in particular to a semiconductor integrated circuit capable of stabilizing the working power supply. Background technique [0003] In a semiconductor integrated circuit, power supply wiring and ground wiring whose resistance is sufficiently reduced are arranged in a circuit for supplying a specific voltage to each element and stably operating each element in the circuit. However, when high power consumption occurs locally in a semiconductor integrated circuit, the power supply voltage drops instantaneously in its vicinity. As a result, operation errors in logic circuits or jitter in output signals occur. This phenomenon remarkably occurs in semiconductor integrated circuits op...
