  • Patent number: 11538755
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate provided with a decoupling capacitor and plurality of circuit elements disposed along a first direction, and a plurality of first wiring line patterns disposed in a first wiring line layer over the substrate, including a power routing pattern coupled to the decoupling capacitor and a plurality of internal wiring line patterns coupled to the plurality of circuit elements. The plurality of first wiring line patterns extend in the first direction, and are aligned in conformity with virtual wiring line pattern tracks which are defined at a first pitch along a second direction intersecting the first direction and parallel to the substrate.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11081446
    Abstract: A semiconductor device that includes active patterns defined in a substrate, and gate patterns extending in a first direction while traversing the active patterns. First wiring line patterns disposed over a first dielectric layer which covers the gate patterns, and extending in the first direction. The first wiring line patterns comprise internal wiring line patterns coupled with first vertical vias, which pass through the first dielectric layer and are coupled to the active patterns and the gate patterns, and power routing patterns not coupled with the first vertical vias. The first wiring line patterns are aligned in conformity with virtual wiring line pattern tracks which are defined at a first pitch along a second direction intersecting with the first direction, and the first active patterns are disposed between the power routing patterns when viewed on a top.
