Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a first active region, a second active region, a first gate line disposed to overlap the first and second active regions, a second gate line disposed to overlap the first and second active regions, a first metal line electrically connecting the first and second gate lines and providing a first signal to both the first and second gate lines, a first contact structure electrically connected to part of the first active region between the first and second gate lines, a second contact structure electrically connected to part of the second active region between the first and second gate lines, and a second metal line electrically connected to the first and second contact structures and transmitting a second signal, wherein an overlapped region that is overlapped by the second metal line does not include a break region.
