Claim:
1. A metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) device, comprising: a first active area; a first gate electrode that extends in a Y direction to cross the first active area, the first gate electrode defining a first source area and a first drain area in the first active area; first gate contacts on the first gate electrode, the first gate contacts aligned on a first virtual gate passing line that extends in the Y direction; first source contacts on the first source area, the first source contacts aligned on a first virtual source passing line that extends in the Y direction; and first drain contacts on the first drain area, the first drain contacts aligned on a first virtual drain passing line that extends in the Y direction, wherein at least one of the first drain contacts is on any one of first virtual lines that extend in parallel in an X direction and that each pass between two adjacent ones of the first source contacts, wherein the X direction is perpendicular to the Y direction.
