Claim:
1. A semiconductor device comprising: a substrate; a first line being formed on the substrate and having a first end portion; a second line having a second end portion located in a neighborhood of the first end portion, the second line being insulated from the first line; a first electrically-conductive portion provided in the neighborhood of the first end portion and the second end portion, the first electrically-conductive portion being spaced apart from the first end portion and from the second end portion when viewed from a substrate normal direction, and extending in a different direction from that of the first line and the second line; a dielectric layer covering the first line, the second line, and the first electrically-conductive portion; and a second electrically-conductive portion provided on the dielectric layer, wherein, when viewed from the substrate normal direction, the dielectric layer has a first contact hole at least partially overlapping the first end portion and a second contact hole at least partially overlapping the first electrically-conductive portion; the second electrically-conductive portion is connected to the first end portion within the first contact hole and connected to the first electrically-conductive portion within the second contact hole to allow electrical conduction between the first end portion and the first electrically-conductive portion; the second end portion is insulated from the first electrically-conductive portion; the first electrically-conductive portion has a proximate portion protruding toward the first end portion in the neighborhood of the first end portion; and the dielectric layer further has a first hole disposed so as to at least partially overlap the proximate portion of the first electrically-conductive portion when viewed from the substrate normal direction.
