Abstract

A pattern structure in a semiconductor device includes an extending line and a pad connected with an end portion of the extending line. The pad may have a width that is larger than a width of the extending line. The pad includes a protruding portion extending from a lateral portion of the pad. The pattern structure may be formed by simplified processes and may be employed in various semiconductor devices requiring minute patterns and pads.
