At a peripheral area of a semiconductor chip where active elements are not formed, a layer underlying a power supply wiring or ground wiring is provided with an uneven surface. The uneven or corrugated surface at the interface between the wiring and the underlying layer makes the wiring unsusceptible to slide. The uneven surface can be realized by interposing foreign matters between insulating layers, by selectively reducing the thickness of an insulating layer, or by forming openings in an insulating layer.
