Patent ID: 8648442

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a transistor circuit obtained by layering a metal film on an interlayer insulating film above a transistor structure; and a bleeder resistance circuit obtained by layering a metal film on the interlayer insulating film above a bleeder resistor formed from a polysilicon film, the bleeder resistor formed above a shield electrode; wherein the metal film layered in the transistor circuit comprises a first barrier metal film and an interconnect film, and wherein the metal film layered in the bleeder resistance circuit comprises the interconnect film and a second barrier metal film, and the second barrier metal film is arranged between the interconnect film and the shield electrode, the second barrier metal film contacting the shield electrode, and the second barrier metal film is arranged only around a connecting portion between the interconnect film and the bleeder resistor and does not further extend in the bleeder resistance circuit.
