Abstract:
A multilayer wiring in a semiconductor device includes a first lower wiring formed in a first insulating layer, a via which is formed in a second insulating layer over the first insulating layer and which is connected to the first lower wiring, and an upper wiring connected to the via. The upper wiring has an outer edge at which a nick portion is formed beside a portion of the upper wiring to which the via is connected. The formation of the nick portion at the outer edge of the upper wiring prevents the via from enlarging.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium storing a computer program, the computer program causing a computer to perform a process comprising:\n acquiring design data that includes information of a layout of a first wiring formed in a first insulating layer, a via that is formed in a second insulating layer over the first insulating layer and that is connected to the first wiring, and a second wiring that is formed in the second insulating layer over the first insulating layer and which is connected to the via; extracting from the acquired design data information of a layout of the via and the second wiring; and forming a first nick portion at an outer edge of the second wiring beside a portion of the second wiring to which the via is connected on the basis of the extracted information of the layout of the via and the second wiring.
