PURPOSE:To form a contact region without widening the gap between a wiring oblique in relation to the X, Y axes and a side of the contact region by a method wherein the contact region is so formed that at least one of its sides is parallel with the oblique wiring. CONSTITUTION:A wiring 4 is formed between circuit blocks 1 and 2 that are oblique in relation to the X, Y axes. A contact region 5 is formed, also oblique in relation to the X, Y axes, with one of its sides parallel with the wiring 4. This design does not create protrusions in the direction of the gap between wirings, narrowing the gap between the wirings more than in the conventional technique wherein the sides of a contact lie parallel with the X, Y axes. This ensures higher density in wiring. This covers all the cases wherein oblique contact patterns are used in any circuit block. |
