Abstract

A semiconductor device includes: a micro CMOS region including a micro CMOS and a micro interconnect that is connected to the micro CMOS; and a high breakdown voltage device region including a high breakdown voltage device that has a breakdown voltage higher than that of the micro CMOS, and drain and source interconnects that are connected to the high breakdown voltage device and have a width greater than that of the micro interconnect in a plan view. In the high breakdown voltage device region, an electrically-isolated dummy interconnect is not provided adjacent to at least the drain interconnect and the source interconnect.
