Abstract
A semiconductor device includes: a first transistor; a second transistor; an interlayer insulating film covering the transistors; a rectangular-shaped first bus formed on the interlayer insulating film and connected to first source/drain regions; a rectangular-shaped second bus formed on the interlayer insulating film with spacing from the first bus and connected to third source/drain regions; an inter-bus interconnect formed between the first and second buses for connecting these buses; a first contact pad provided on the first bus, to which a wire is connected; and a second contact pad provided on the second bus, to which a wire is connected. The inter-bus interconnect is in contact with part of the side of the first bus facing the second bus and part of the side of the second bus facing the first bus. The first and second contact pads are respectively in contact with part of the first and second buses.
