Abstract
A semiconductor device includes multiple functional blocks, each having a predetermined function, and wiring regions on a substrate where a signal line is provided. The semiconductor device also includes multiple standard cells disposed in the wiring regions along the signal line, each of which operates with a substrate bias potential, and multiple contact cells disposed in the wiring region in parallel with the wiring direction of the signal line, each being associated with each of the multiple standard cells and providing the substrate bias potential to the associated standard cell.
