A semiconductor integrated circuit according to the present invention includes a cell array composed of elements, conductive lines with a pattern of a line & space arranged on the cell array, connecting lines formed upper than the conductive lines, and contact holes which connect the conductive lines to the connecting lines. One end side of the conductive lines sequentially departs from an end of the cell array when heading from one of the conductive lines to another one, the contact holes are arranged at one end side of the conductive lines, and size of the contact holes is larger than width of the conductive lines.
