Claim Text:
1. A contact window arranging method adapted to arrange positions of a plurality of contact windows on a rectangular area formed by stacking a first conductive wire layer and a second conductive wire layer, wherein each of the contact windows has a first side and a second side adjacent to each other, and the rectangular area has a first boundary and a second boundary adjacent to each other, the contact window arranging method comprising: receiving a first preset distance between the first sides of adjacent contact windows of the contact windows and a second preset distance between the second sides of adjacent contact windows of the contact windows; determining a first contact window arrangement number and a second contact window arrangement number respectively corresponding to the first boundary and the second boundary according to the first preset distance and determining a third contact window arrangement number and a fourth contact window arrangement number respectively corresponding to the first boundary and the second boundary according to the second preset distance, wherein a total first contact window arrangement number is defined by a product of the first contact window arrangement number and the fourth contact window arrangement number, and a total second contact window arrangement number is defined by a product of the second contact window arrangement number and the third contact window arrangement number; comparing the total first contact window arrangement number and the total second contact window arrangement number; determining a total contact window arrangement number according to a result of comparing the total first contact window arrangement number and the total second contact window arrangement number; and arranging the contact windows in a manner corresponding to the determined total contact window arrangement number through taking a horizontal center line and a vertical center line of the rectangular area as benchmarks, and using the contact windows to manufacture a semiconductor.
