Semiconductor device and dummy pattern arrangement method
View Patent ↗A semiconductor device includes a plurality of wiring patterns arranged in a first wiring layer of the semiconductor device and extending in a first direction, and a plurality of dummy patterns arranged in the first wiring layer and extending in a second direction different from the first direction, wherein each of the plurality of dummy patterns is arranged spaced apart from each of the plurality of wiring patterns and includes one or more dummy lands formed by separating a part of the dummy pattern opposed to the wiring pattern, from the rest part of the dummy pattern.
1. A semiconductor device comprising:
a plurality of wiring patterns arranged in a first wiring layer of the semiconductor device and extending in a first direction; and
a plurality of dummy patterns arranged in the first wiring layer and extending in a second direction different from the first direction, wherein
each of the plurality of dummy patterns is arranged spaced apart from each of the plurality of wiring patterns and includes one or more dummy lands formed by separating a part of the dummy pattern opposed to the wiring pattern, from the rest part of the dummy pattern.
2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of dummy patterns includes the dummy land at both ends thereof.
3. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein a width of each of the dummy lands along the second direction is narrower than a width of each of the rest parts of the plurality of dummy patterns.
4. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein area of each of the dummy lands correspond to minimum pattern area of a wiring rule.
5. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein two or more dummy lands are separated from the common opposing part of the dummy pattern.
6. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , the plurality of wiring patterns is the plurality of first wiring patterns, wherein each of the plurality of dummy patterns is arranged so as not to overlap with each of a plurality of second wiring patterns arranged in a second wiring layer laminated on the first wiring layer.
7. The semiconductor device according to claim 6 , the plurality of dummy patterns is the plurality of first dummy patterns, further comprising:
one or more second dummy patterns arranged in the first wiring layer and overlapped with at least one of the plurality of second wiring patterns arranged in the second wiring layer, wherein
areas of the second dummy pattern is smaller than areas of the second wiring pattern.
8. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of dummy pattern is arranged so as not to overlap with wiring patterns of a wiring layer laminated immediately above or below the first wiring layer, and the first direction and the second direction are substantially perpendicular to each other.
