Abstract

In a semiconductor circuit device, a wiring line is connected to an internal circuit and to a test circuit which is connected to a power supply voltage line and a ground voltage line. The test circuit includes a first fuse resistor connected to the power supply voltage line, a first resistor connected between the first fuse resistor and the ground voltage line, a second resistor connected to the power supply voltage line, a second fuse resistor connected between the second resistor and the ground voltage line, a p-type transistor and an n-type transistor. The p-type transistor has a first drain connected to the wiring line, a first source connected to the power supply voltage line, and a gate connected to a connection point between the first fuse resistor and the first resistor. Also, the n-type transistor has a second drain connected to the wiring line, a second source connected to the ground voltage line, and a second gate connected to a connection point between the second resistance and the second fuse resistor.
