Abstract

A semiconductor device ( 1 ) includes a wiring ( 10 ) and dummy conductor patterns ( 20 ). The wiring ( 10 ) is a wiring through which a current with a frequency of 5 GHz or higher flows. Near the wiring ( 10 ), the dummy conductor patterns ( 20 ) are formed. A planar shape of each of the dummy conductor patterns ( 20 ) is equivalent to a shape with an internal angle larger than 180°.
