Patent ID: 7716617

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a semiconductor substrate; and a circuit pattern group comprising at least N (N≧2) pieces of circuit patterns provided on the semiconductor substrate, at least one vicinity of end portion among the at least of N pieces of circuit patterns including a connection area to electrically connect to a circuit pattern in another circuit pattern group being different from the circuit pattern group, the N pieces of circuit patterns including a circuit pattern N 1 and at least one circuit pattern Ni (i≧2) arranged in one direction being different from a longitudinal direction of the circuit pattern N 1 , the at least one circuit pattern Ni having larger i being arranged at a further position away from the circuit pattern N 1 , and in terms of a pattern including the connection area among the at least of N pieces of circuit patterns, the larger the i, the connection area being arranged at a further position in the longitudinal direction.
