A semiconductor device having a multilayer interconnect structure allowing heat in an interconnect layer at an intermediate level to be effectively dissipated is provided. A lower-layer interconnect (13), an intermediate interconnect (23), an upper-layer interconnect (33), a first contact via (15) formed to electrically connect the lower-layer interconnect (13) to the intermediate interconnect (23), and a second contact via (25) formed to electrically connect the intermediate interconnect (23) to the upper-layer interconnect (33) are provided. When viewed from above, the first and second contact vias (15, 25) both have a rectangular shape with their long sides extending in the same direction, and overlap with each other.
