ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device is comprised of a first wire that has a plurality of via holes formed in the vicinity of an end thereof and that is connected to a conductor of a different layer through the via holes, and a plurality of slits that are provided parallel to the direction in which the first wire extends and that split the first wire into a plurality of second wires over a predetermined distance from the end thereof. Another semiconductor device is comprised of a first wire, a second wire that is on a layer different from that of the first wire and that extends in a direction at right angles to the first wire, a connection area where a portion in the vicinity of an end of the first wire intersects with a portion in the vicinity of an end of the second wire, a plurality of first slits that are provided parallel to the direction in which the first wire extends and that divide the first wire into a plurality of third wires over only a predetermined distance from an end of the first wire, and a plurality of second slits that are provided parallel to the direction in which the second wire extends and that divide the second wire into a plurality of fourth wires over only a predetermined distance from an end of the second wire, and a plurality of via holes that are formed in the connection area and that connect the plurality of third wires and the plurality of fourth wires.
