Semiconductor device

摘要

A semiconductor device includes a plurality of gate electrodes, and a plurality of stripe contacts, each formed alternately with each of the gate electrodes along a length direction of the gate electrodes. A conductive transistor with a reference potential applied to one of the stripe contacts forming one of a source and a drain is formed. One of the gate electrodes adjacent to one of the stripe contacts forming the other of the source and the drain is used as a first dummy gate electrode. The semiconductor device further includes a metal extending over the first dummy gate electrode to electrically connect together the stripe contacts formed on opposing sides of the first dummy gate electrode, and a pad connected to one of the stripe contacts formed on opposing sides of the first dummy gate electrode, which is provided across the first dummy gate electrode from the conductive transistor.
