Abstract
A semiconductor device comprises:a semiconductor substrate; a plurality of active regions for forming semiconductor elements, the active regions being formed on the semiconductor substrate; a device isolation region for separating the plural active regions from each other, the device isolation region including a trench region filled with an insulating film and a pseudo active region formed adjacent to the trench region; a wiring layer formed above the semiconductor substrate; and a pseudo conductive film formed on the device isolation region, wherein, if the pseudo conductive film is partially or entirely located under the wiring layer, the pseudo conductive film is formed only on the trench region.
