Abstract
Characteristics of a semiconductor device are improved. A semiconductor device includes a coil CL1 and a wiring M2 formed on an interlayer insulator IL2, a wiring M3 formed on an interlayer insulator IL3, and a coil CL2 and a wiring M4 formed on the interlayer insulator IL4. Moreover, a distance DM4 between the coil CL2 and the wiring M4 is longer than a distance DM3 between the coil CL2 and the wiring M3 (DM4>DM3). Furthermore, the distance DM3 between the coil CL2 and the wiring M3 is set to be longer than a sum of a film thickness of the interlayer insulator IL3 and a film thickness of the interlayer insulator IL4, which are positioned between the coil CL1 and the coil CL2. In this manner, it is possible to improve an insulation withstand voltage between the coil CL2 and the wiring M4 or the like, where a high voltage difference tend to occur. Moreover, a transformer formation region 1A and a seal ring formation region 1C surrounding a peripheral circuit formation region 1B are formed so as to improve the moisture resistance.
