Abstract:
A semiconductor device including a plurality of resistors each having a resistance that varies depending on voltage applied between contacts of the resistor, comprising:a first resistor including a first resistive layer connected at a first contact to a first input wire and connected at a second contact to a first output wire, the first output wire having a first shielding portion which is connected to the second contact and shields the first resistive layer; and a second resistor including a second resistive layer connected at a third contact to a second input wire and connected at a fourth contact to a second output wire, the second output wire having a second shielding portion which is connected to the fourth contact and shields the second resistive layer, wherein the first resistor and the second resistor are connected such that a potential difference of the first shielding portion of the first resistor from the first contact thereof and a potential difference of the second shielding portion of the second resistor from the third contact thereof are equal in polarity.
