15. A semiconductor device comprising:
a capacitor including a first electrode, a second electrode and an insulator therebetween;
a first layer including lines of a first electrode and lines of a second electrode, the lines of the first electrode and the lines of the second electrode being alternately arranged;
a second layer laminated with the first layer and including lines of the first electrode and the second electrode extending in a direction different from the lines of the first electrode and the lines of the second electrode in the first layer;
first via holes connecting the lines of the first electrode of the first layer and the lines of the first electrode of the second layer; and
second via holes connecting the lines of the second electrode of the first layer and the lines of the second electrode of the second layer,
wherein the first and second via holes are disposed an equal distance from other first and second via holes adjacent said first and second via holes, respectively,
wherein at least one of the first via holes is disposed an equal distance from at least three other first via holes which are adjacent to the first via hole, and
wherein at least one of the second via holes is disposed an equal distance from at least three other second via holes which are adjacent to the second via hole.
