A semiconductor integrated circuit having a plurality of interconnect layers and at least one via connecting interconnects of two adjacent interconnect layers, wherein each interconnect layer has a plurality of first interconnect groups and second interconnect groups arranged respectively in a row and a column in a matrix. The first and the second interconnect groups are alternately arranged in each row and in each column of the matrix arranged facing each other between two adjacent interconnect layers. The first and second interconnect groups facing each other between the layers have crossing parts where they can be connected through vias.
