Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a plurality of semiconductor elements, each of the plurality of semiconductor elements including an active region disposed on a substrate, and a gate structure intersecting the active region and extending in a first direction that is parallel to an upper surface of the substrate; and at least one dummy element disposed between a pair of semiconductor elements adjacent to each other in a second direction, intersecting the first direction, among the plurality of semiconductor elements. The dummy element includes a dummy active region and at least one dummy gate structure intersecting the dummy active region and extending in the first direction. A length of the dummy active region in the second direction is less than a length of the active region included in each of the pair of semiconductor elements.
