Abstract

A semiconductor device, includes: a semiconductor substrate; a multilayered interconnect structure formed on the semiconductor substrate; a terminal for flip-chip packaging arranged on the surface of the multilayered interconnect structure; and a spiral inductor formed to enclose the terminal for flip-chip packaging, in a plan view, which is not electrically connected with the spiral inductor. The spiral inductor may be provided for peaking by which the gain reduction caused in a high frequency is compensated.
