Layout of well contacts and source contacts of a semiconductor device

Abstract

There is described a semiconductor device intended to increase a degree of integration of transistor without impairing a desired element characteristic. An n-type source region and an n-type drain region are formed in a p-well which acts as a substrate region of an NMOS transistor. Further, there are formed a first contact plug to be electrically connected to the n-type source region and a second contact plug to be electrically connected to the n-type drain region. The n-type source region is provided so as to become short-circuited with the p-well. The n-type drain region is provided so as not to become short-circuited with the p-well. The n-type source region is formed so as to become smaller than the n-type drain region.
