Standard cell and semiconductor device including the same
View Patent ↗This invention prevents a break in a signal wire disposed between wire ends due to attenuation and improves production yields of devices. In a standard cell, a first signal wire extends in a first direction. Second and third signal wires extend in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction and are facing each other across the first signal wire. The second and third signal wires have the widths larger than the width of the first signal wire.
1. A standard cell for forming a semiconductor device, the standard cell having a wiring pitch of 170 nm or less, comprising:
a first signal wire formed in a first wiring layer and extending in a first direction; and
second and third signal wires formed in the first wiring layer and extending in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, the second and third signal wires facing each other across the first signal wire,
wherein at least one of the second and third signal wires has a width larger than a width of the first signal wire.
2. The standard cell according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the second and third signal wires has a largest width among signal wires in the standard cell.
3. The standard cell according to claim 1 , wherein both of the second and third signal wires have a width larger than the width of the first signal wire.
4. A semiconductor device comprising the standard cell of claim 1 .
