  • Patent number: 4943841
    Abstract: A wiring structure for a semiconductor integrated circuit device having a common wiring region such as a gate array comprises a lower wiring layer formed on a semiconductor substrate with a predetermined lattice form and an upper wiring layer formed on an insulating film on the lower layer with a lattice form orthogonal to the lower lattice. The wiring lattice of the lower wiring layer is cut at intermediate portions thereof between the wiring lattices of the upper wiring layer into segments, ends of the segments being exposed through through-holes perforated in the insulating film in portion thereof except crossing points of the upper and lower wiring lattices. Predetermined through-holes are buried with a connecting wiring having a predetermined pattern at the time of forming the wiring lattice of the upper wiring layer to connect the upper layer to the lower layer and are buried with discretely provided connecting wirings to connect the segments to each other.
