Abstract: An electronic circuit device having a power-supply structure capable of supporting fast signals in and above a GHz band is offered. A driver transistor is formed in a surface of a semiconductor substrate. Power-supply/ground pair transmission lines which provide the driver transistor with power and signal/ground pair transmission lines which transmit signals to a receiver are formed on the semiconductor substrate. The power-supply/ground pair transmission lines are connected to a drain layer of the driver transistor and a P+ layer in a P well. The signal/ground pair transmission lines are connected to a source layer of the driver transistor and a P+ layer in the P well.

Abstract: In a semiconductor chip are arranged power pads, ground pads and signal pads. A ground line is provided which is formed as one in the vicinity of the chip and branches off at some distance from the chip. Signal lines and power lines are each formed over one of the branched ground lines. The signal lines and the power lines are extended radially together with the underlying ground lines. Each of the signal lines and the power lines are extended together with the corresponding ground line to form a stacked pair line.
