Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device, comprising: a standard cell having three or more gate patterns extending in a first direction and arranged at an equal pitch along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction; and a diode cell located next to the standard cell in the first direction which functions as a diode, wherein the gate patterns included in the standard cell terminate near a cell boundary between the standard cell and the diode cell, with respective end portions located at a same position in the first direction and having an equal width in the second direction, and the diode cell includes: the plurality of gate patterns included in the diode cell are arranged at a pitch equal to the pitch at which the gate patterns included in the standard cell are arranged in the second direction, with the plurality of opposite end portions located at a same position in the first direction and having an equal width in the second direction.
