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 2):
The computer-readable non-transitory storage medium storing the computer program according to  claim 1 , wherein:\n the outer edge includes a first outer edge portion, a second outer edge portion that intersects the first outer edge portion, and a third outer edge portion that is opposite to the first outer edge portion and that intersects the second outer edge portion; the forming of the first nick portion includes forming the first nick portion at the first outer edge portion of the outer edge of the second wiring; the first nick portion is located beside the portion of the second wiring to which the via is connected; the second outer edge portion is located opposite to the first nick portion; the portion of the second wiring is located between the first nick portion and the second outer edge portion; a first distance between the first nick portion and the second outer edge portion is shorter than a second distance between the first outer edge portion and the third outer edge portion.
