Abstract
A plurality of SRAM cells include: a first SRAM cell; and a second SRAM cell aligned with the first SRAM cell in a first direction. In the first SRAM cell, lines corresponding to bit lines BLB and BL, respectively, are formed in an M1 interconnect layer that is a metal interconnect layer. In the second SRAM cell, lines corresponding to bit lines BLB and BL, respectively, are formed in a BM0 interconnect layer which is an interconnect layer on the back of a transistor.
