Abstract
A semiconductor device comprises an active region formed in a semiconductor substrate and a gate electrode formed on the active region via a gate insulating film formed on a surface of the active region. A peripheral portion of the gate electrode and a peripheral portion of the active region overlap each other at a position where the active region is not divided by the gate electrode when viewed in plan view, thus forming an overlap region.
