Abstract
A semiconductor integrated circuit comprising a MOSFET having a metal wiring layer formed via an insulating film above and along the gate electrode of the MOSFET. The MOSFET is structured such that its channel length is small or channel width is large, and an input signal is applied from at least both end sides of the gate electrode thereof. Since the metal wiring layer for the input signal is formed on the gate electrode of the MOSFET, high-speed operation is possible without increasing the layout area. FIG. 1.
