Abstract:
Provided is a semiconductor device including a substrate with first, second, and third logic cells, active patterns provided in each of the first to third logic cells to protrude from the substrate, and gate structures crossing the active patterns. The second and third logic cells are spaced apart from each other in a first direction with the first logic cell interposed therebetween. The active patterns are arranged in the first direction and extend in a second direction crossing the first direction. When measured in the first direction, a distance between the closest adjacent pair of the active patterns with each in the first and second logic cells respectively is different from that between the closest pair of the active patterns with each in the first and third logic cells respectively.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a first active pattern extending in a first direction on a first region and a second region of a substrate, a first dummy gate electrode extending in a second direction crossing the first active pattern between the first region and the second region, a contact structure contacting the first dummy gate electrode and extending in the first direction, and a power line disposed on the contact structure and electrically connected to the contact structure. The power line extends in the first direction. The contact structure overlaps with the power line when viewed in a plan view.
