Abstract
In a semiconductor integrated circuit device, first and second interconnects extending in the X direction are formed in a metal interconnect layer. The first and second interconnects are placed on the opposite sides of each resistor element in the X direction and connected to the resistor element. The first interconnect is connected to PAD, and a third interconnect is connected to VSS. In an ESD protection diode, an anode and a cathode are formed alternately in the Y direction. The resistor element and the first and second interconnects overlap the cathode of the ESD protection diode, and the third interconnect overlaps the anode of the ESD protection diode, in planar view.
