Abstract
Wiring lines for use at a high frequency having reduced resistance and/or inductance are disclosed that may be readily manufactured in a semiconductor integrated circuit. Wiring lines can include extension lines (), connected to both ends of an inductor (), that may each include divided wiring lines (and) that are separated by a slit (). A length, width and thickness of divided wiring lines (and) can be essentially equal, resulting in divided wiring lines (and) of essentially equal longitudinal resistance. A width of a slit () may preferably be greater than a width of each of divided wiring lines (and).
