Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to estimate the capacitances of wirings accurately, by providing a conductor layer having a constant potential between an n-th wiring layer from the side of a semiconductor substrate and an (n+1)-th wiring layer. CONSTITUTION:A conductive layer having a constant potential is provided between an n-th wiring layer from an m-th one of m wiring layers and an (n+1)-th one (where 2<=n<=m-1, n is an integer). The wiring layers are shielded from each other electrically by the conductor layers. For example, on a substrate 105, from the side of the substrate, a first layer wirings 101, a grounded shield layer 107, a second layer wirings 102, the grounded shield layer 107, a third layer wirings 103, etc., are formed in the described order. The respective layers are isolated electrically from each other by insulators 106, and if necessary, are connected electrically with each other by a through hole 104 between 1-2 layers, etc. Capacitances, 111, 113 between the second layer wiring and the shield layers are constant, regardless of the wiring patterns and the potential states of the upper and lower layers thereof, and come into the values proportional to the area of the second layer wiring 102. Therefore, by considering a capacitance 112 between the two adjacent second layer wirings together with the capacitances 111, 113, the capacitances of the second layer wirings 102 can be calculated from only the layout pattern of the second layer wirings 102.

When configuring a logic LSI using the wiring structure shown in FIG. 3, the capacitance parasitic to the wiring is, taking the second layer wiring as an example, ■ the capacitance between the second layer wiring and the board Ji311,
There are three types of capacitance: capacitance 310 between the second layer wiring, and capacitance 312 between the second layer wiring and the third layer wiring.
