Abstract

A semiconductor device includes first power supply lines arranged in a first direction and extended in a second direction, second power supply lines arranged in the second direction and extended in the first direction, power gating switches, and taps, Each of the power gating switches is connected with one of the first power supply lines and at least two of the second power supply lines. Each of the taps is connected with one of the first power supply lines or one of the second power supply lines. One of the power gating switches closest to a first power gating switch is a second power gating switch, one of the taps closest to the first power gating switch is a first tap, and at least one of the second power gating switch and the first tap is spaced from the first power gating switch in a third direction.
