Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

According to an embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a first region that is provided on the semiconductor substrate and has a line-and-space pattern extending in a first direction, and a second region that is provided adjacent to the first region on the semiconductor substrate and has a dummy pattern. The surface area per unit area of the second region is greater than the surface area per unit area of the first region.

First claim
