A semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor element provided on a semiconductor layer; a light-blocking wall provided around the semiconductor element; and a wiring layer electrically coupled to the semiconductor element and extended from an aperture not having the light-blocking wall to an outside of the light-blocking wall; wherein the wiring layer has a pattern containing a first section positioned in the aperture and a second section which has a width not narrower than a width of the aperture by providing a branched portion intersecting with an extension direction of the wiring layer; and wherein a surface of the branched portion facing outside of the light-blocking wall includes thereon a convex part.

Semiconductor device

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor element that is set up on a semiconductor layer, a light shielding wall that is set up around the semiconductor element, a hole that is set up on the light shielding wall, and a wiring layer that is electrically connected to the semiconductor element and is drawn out through the hole to the outside of the light shielding wall. The wiring layer has a pattern including a first part that is located within the hole and a second part that is located on the outside of the hole and has a larger width compared to the width of the first part, the width of the second part being the same with or larger than the width of the hole.

A semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor layer; a first area and a second area which are demarcated by a separation insulating layer provided on the semiconductor layer; a nonvolatile memory provided on the first area; a plurality of MOS transistors provided on the second area; a first interlayer insulating layer embedded between the plurality of MOS transistors on the second area; and a second interlayer insulating layer provided above the first area and the second area.
