ABSTRACT:
A transistor and a semiconductor integrated circuit with a reduced layout area. Area reduction of a transistor is realized by arranging contacts at higher density. Specifically, in a transistor including a pair of impurity regions and a gate electrode604sandwiched therebetween, one of the impurity regions has respective contact holes (a first contact hole601and a second contact hole602) and the other impurity region has a contact hole (a third contact hole603), and contacts of the contact holes601to603or regions605to607each including a margin for a contact are arranged so as to be a triangular lattice except for the gate electrode604.
