ABSTRACT:
A third interconnection layer is disposed near a first interconnection layer and a second interconnection layer disposed above the first interconnection layer. The first interconnection layer and second interconnection layer are connected to each other by a regular via plug and a via plug for redundancy. The via plug for redundancy is disposed by the side of the regular via plug and between the regular via plug and the third interconnection layer. An extended portion of the second interconnection layer is extended from a portion connected to the via plug for redundancy on the second interconnection layer toward the third interconnection layer. The extended portion has a dimension smaller than the minimum dimension prescribed in the interconnection line design rule.
