Abstract:
In order to provide a semiconductor device having a high ESD tolerance, a source wiring (32a) is formed on a gate (31) and a source (32) in a region of an NMOS transistor (30). The source wiring (32a) electrically connects the gate (31), the source (32), and a ground terminal. A drain wiring (33a) is formed on a drain (33) in the region of the NMOS transistor (30) . The drain wiring (33a) electrically connects the drain (33) and a pad (20) serving as an external connection electrode. Moreover, in the region of the NMOS transistor (30), the drain wiring (33a) has the same wiring width as the source wiring (32a).
