Abstract

A semiconductor integrated circuit device has a first wire for transmitting a first signal and a second wire adjacent to the first wire, for transmitting a second signal having the stronger probability of having an opposite phase to that of the first signal. A space between the first and second wires is wider than a standard wiring space, to reduce a delay in the operation speed of the device due to wiring capacitance produced between the first and second wires.
