The present invention has an object to provide a semiconductor device, an
ID tag, in which delay of signal transmission with conductive layers is
controlled. In addition, the other object is that a design method of such
a semiconductor device is provided.A semiconductor device of the
invention comprises a plurality of conductive layers, a plurality of
first element groups each of which selects one among the conductive
layers and a plurality of second element groups each of which amplifies a
signal each transmitted from the conductive layers. Each of the second
element groups is disposed between the first element groups. Stated
another way, the first element group and the second element group are
disposed alternately. The delay of the signal transmission with the
plurality of conductive layers is controlled because a load by a
parasitic capacitance is reduced due to the above feature.
