ABSTRACT:
A process margin of an interconnect is to be expanded, to minimize the impact of vibration generated during a scanning motion of a scanning type exposure equipment. In a semiconductor device, the interconnect handling a greater amount of data (frequently used interconnect) is disposed in a same orientation such that the longitudinal direction of the interconnects is aligned with a scanning direction of a scanning type exposure equipment, in an interconnect layer that includes a narrowest interconnect or a narrowest spacing between the interconnects. Aligning thus the direction of the vibration with the longitudinal direction of the pattern can minimize the positional deviation due to the vibration.
