Abstract
A circuit including an inverter is provided for a wiring layer. A semiconductor device is provided with a wiring layer circuit which is formed over an insulating film and includes at least one inverter element. The inverter is provided with a first transistor element and a resistance element which is connected to the first transistor via a connection node. The first transistor element is provided with a gate electrode which is embedded in an interlayer insulating film including the insulating film, a gate insulating film which is formed over the interlayer insulating film and the gate electrode, and a first semiconductor layer which is formed over the gate insulating film between a source electrode and a drain electrode. The resistance element is provided with a second semiconductor layer which functions as a resistance. The first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer are formed in the same layer.
