Abstract
In a semiconductor device, such as a MOSFET or the like, which is a high-frequency LSI achieving a low noise figure and a high maximum oscillation frequency and which has unit cells with a ring-shaped gate electrode arranged in an array, gate drawing wires connecting together the gate electrode and gate contact pad portions are arranged on a region excluding a drain region and a source region, that is, on an isolation region. Bending portions of the ring-shaped gate electrode are all formed on the isolation region. This therefore permits an improvement in high frequency characteristics such as noise, the maximum oscillation frequency, and the like while eliminating unnecessary gate capacity addition, and also permits small characteristic variation even if a machining shape of the bending portions of the gate electrode is unstable.
