Abstract
A semiconductor device has a resistor area and wiring area selectively disposed on a semiconductor substrate. In this semiconductor device, a second interlayer insulating film is formed above the semiconductor substrate, and a thin-film resistor is disposed on the second interlayer insulating film in the resistor area. Vias that contact the thin-film resistor from below are formed in the second interlayer insulating film. A wiring line is disposed on the second interlayer insulating film in the wiring area. A dummy wiring line that covers the thin-film resistor from above is disposed in a third wiring layer that is in the same layer as the wiring line, and an insulating film is interposed between the thin-film resistor and the dummy wiring line.
