Patent ID: 7797660

Claim:
A semiconductor integrated circuit device, comprising: a pair of opposed power supply lines that supply power supply voltage; a first diffusion layer and a second diffusion layer that are disposed between said opposed power supply lines, the first diffusion layer being different from the second diffusion layer; a first conductive layer that is coupled to the first diffusion layer and has a first portion which does not exist over the first diffusion layer and is formed at a side of the second diffusion layer; a second conductive layer that is coupled to the second diffusion layer and has a second portion which does not exist over the second diffusion layer and is formed at a side of the first diffusion layer; a first contact portion that is formed over the first portion, extends parallel to the power supply lines and is coupled to a substrate potential line; and a second contact portion that is formed over the second portion, extends parallel to the power supply lines and is coupled to the substrate potential line.
