Abstract

The semiconductor device comprises a first conductive pattern 42, a second conductive pattern 42 formed adjacent to the first conductive pattern 42, a first conductor plug 28 formed below a prescribed region of the first conductive pattern 42, a second conductor plug 62n formed over a prescribed region of the first conductive pattern 42, a third conductor plug 28 formed below a prescribed region of the second conductive pattern 42, which is adjacent to a prescribed region of the first conductive pattern 42, a fourth conductor plug 62n+1 formed over a prescribed region of the second conductive pattern 42, a third conductive pattern 64 formed above the first conductive pattern 42 and connected to the second conductor plug 62a, and a fourth conductive pattern 64 formed above the second conductive pattern 42 and connected to the fourth conductor plug 62. The fourth conductor plug 62n+1 is arranged a position which is offset from the second conductor plug 62n. The conductor plugs 62n, 62n+1 are offset each other in the longitudinal direction of the interconnections, whereby the parts of the interconnections having an increased width can be distanced from each other. Thus, the interconne…
