ABSTRACT:
In a semiconductor device having element isolation made of a trench-type isolating oxide film13, large and small dummy patterns11of two types, being an active region of a dummy, are located in an isolating region10, the large dummy patterns11bare arranged at a position apart from actual patterns9, and the small dummy patterns11aare regularly arranged in a gap at around a periphery of the actual patterns9, whereby uniformity of an abrading rate is improved at a time of abrading an isolating oxide film13ais improved, and surface flatness of the semiconductor device becomes preferable.
