Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
240 words
A semiconductor integrated circuit device comprising: a semiconductor substrate; a square-shaped connection hole formed in said semiconductor substrate; a first wiring section formed of a conductive film forming plating sidewalls of said connection hole and having four elements each having a substantially rectangular cross-section adjacent to a respective one of four edges of said connection hole, each of said four elements having a sidewall substantially aligned with a respective plating sidewall of said square-shaped connection hole adjacent to a respective one of the four edges; and a line-like second wiring section formed of a conductive film having a substantially rectangular cross-section, including a portion connected to a first element of said first wiring section at a juncture at which it has a width narrower than a length of the first element of said first wiring section adjacent to the respective edge of said connection hole, wherein said first wiring section forming plating sidewalls of said connection hole is thinner than each of said four elements from the respective one of the four edges to a major surface of the conductive film parallel to the substrate, and a first width, defined by a width of the first element at the major surface from the respective edge of said connection hole, is greater than second to fourth widths, respectively defined by corresponding widths of the second element, the third element, and the fourth element from the respective edges of said connection hole.
