Abstract
A semiconductor device has a multi-layer structure comprising three or more interconnect layers formed over a substrate, one of these interconnect layers being a first power supply line and another metal interconnect layer being a second power supply line, the first and second power supply lines being arranged in a multi-level fashion such that one is superposed relative to the other in a plan view. That is, the power supply lines are arranged as a multi-layer metal interconnect layer array such that the first and second power supply lines are superposed in a multi-level fashion in a plan view.
