Abstract

A semiconductor integrated circuit includes a first wiring layer formed in a first direction, a second wiring layer formed in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and a third wiring layer formed in the second direction to sandwich the first wiring layer between the third wiring layer and the second wiring layer. The second and third wiring layers are shifted from each other by a predetermined distance in the first direction. An automatic layout method for a semiconductor integrated circuit, and a recording medium are also disclosed.
