Abstract:
In a semiconductor device, an outer peripheral part of an integrated circuit region separated by an insulation part is defined as a dummy cell region and a center part except the outer peripheral part of the integrated circuit region is defined as an active cell region. Memory cells such as DRAM, SRAM, EEPROM, mask ROM are formed in the active cell region. In the integrated circuit region, plural cell forming regions are provided which are respectively defined by an isolation. Active cells each having a field effect semiconductor element are provided in a region included in the active cell region of each cell forming region.
