Abstract
In a semiconductor chip, a second power source pad, to which a ground potential is applied, is arranged adjacent to a first power source pad, to which a power source potential is applied, signal pads are arranged adjacent to the second power source pad by the number corresponding to a size of an external part such as a bypass capacitor inserted between power source terminals in an IC chip, and further, a third power source pad, to which the ground potential is applied, is arranged adjacent to the signal pad. The second power source pad or the third power source pad is selected according to the size of the external part, and then, is connected to a lead terminal, to which the ground potential is applied, in an IC chip, thereby providing a power source terminal, to which the ground potential is applied.
