Abstract

A semiconductor integrated circuit has a plurality of capacitor cells, and each capacitor cell has an upper electrode and a lower electrode. These electrodes are respectively connected to an upper electrode wiring and a lower electrode. When, for example, the upper electrode is connected to the upper electrode wiring and the electrode wiring is located at a side of the lower electrode of another capacitor cell or a side of the lower electrode wiring connecting these electrodes, a shield wiring is provided between the upper electrode wiring and the adjacently-located lower electrode of the other capacitor cell or between the upper electrode wiring and the adjacently-located lower electrode wiring. Thus, with this shield wiring, the capacitance coupling between each wiring of the capacitor cells and each upper electrode or each lower electrode of the capacitor cells are effectively suppressed.
