Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a real pattern and dummy patterns in respective different coordinate systems. Using a dummy pattern in a single coordinate system does not allow an effective dummy pattern arrangement. To the contrary, if the dummy patterns in different coordinate systems are used, minimum interval requirements may be satisfied in one coordinate system while such requirements are not met in another coordinate system.
