Semiconductor integrated circuit and method for manufacturing same, and mask
View Patent ↗A semiconductor integrated circuit includes a first conductor provided in a first region on a substrate and a second conductor provided in a second region on the substrate. The second region is a region enclosing the first region. A minimum design dimension in linewidth of the first conductor is smaller than a minimum design dimension in linewidth of the second conductor.
1. A semiconductor integrated circuit, comprising:
a first region including a logic block and a PLL block; and
a second region including an I/O block that surrounds said first region,
wherein said second region includes interconnects being limited to a minimum design dimension in linewidth of longer than 0.1 μm, and
wherein said first region includes interconnects having a minimum design dimension in linewidth of equal to or smaller than 0.1 μm.
2. The semiconductor integrated circuit according to claim 1 ,
wherein said first region is spaced apart from said second region, and no conductor pattern is included in a region between said first region and said second region.
3. The semiconductor integrated circuit according to claim 1 ,
wherein said first region has a dimension, which is small enough to fit within a region of a square of 20 mm on a side.
4. The semiconductor integrated circuit according to claim 1 ,
wherein each of said first and said second conductors is an interconnect, gate electrode, silicide layer, or diffusion layer.
