ABSTRACT:
The semiconductor integrated circuit of the invention includes: two first power supply lines placed in parallel in a same interconnect layer; a second power supply line placed between the two first power supply lines in the same interconnect layer; an actual operation flipflop connected to one of the two first power supply lines and the second power supply line and having a first clock terminal; and a dummy flipflop connected to the other first power supply line and the second power supply line and having a second clock terminal. The dummy flipflop includes: a contact connected to the other first power supply line or the second power supply line; and an interconnect for connecting the second clock terminal with the contact.
