ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a semiconductor device, which has: a wiring corresponding to a critical path, a wiring delay time of which determines an operating speed of an entire circuity, and a wiring corresponding to other than the critical path. The critical path wiring the other wiring are formed on the same wiring layer, wherein a thickness of at least a part of the critical path wiring is greater than that of the other wiring.
