Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase a degree of freedom for external connection and to reduce an area of a device, by disposing electrodes, which are used only for measuring electrical characteristics or the like, on and inside an active region of a semiconductor integrated circuit and next by disposing electrodes connected to external parts, on the periphery of the circuit. CONSTITUTION:Electrodes 3 used only for electrical measurement or used for fuse/trimming or the like and not used for external connection are composed and disposed inside electrodes 2 connected to external parts, on an active region 4 of a semiconductor integrated circuit device 1. Also only electrodes 3 not connected to the external parts can be disposed on the active region, and connection of the electrodes 2 to the external parts can be performed on an inactive region. Since the electrodes 3 unnecessary for the external connection are disposed inside the device accordingly, a degree of freedom can be enlarged. Since the electrodes of large area occupation can be disposed effectively, also an area of the device can be reduced.

However, in the conventional arrangement of external connection electrodes, even electrodes that are used only for measuring electrical characteristics and do not require connection to the outside are placed on the outer periphery of the semiconductor integrated circuit device, making them difficult to connect to the outside. Sometimes there were restrictions when connecting. Further, since the external connection electrode occupies a large area of the semiconductor integrated circuit, there is a drawback that if the external connection electrode is arranged on the outer periphery of the semiconductor integrated circuit device, the area of the semiconductor integrated circuit device becomes large.

Therefore, in order to solve these conventional drawbacks, the present invention aims to increase the degree of freedom in connection with the outside and reduce the area of the device.
