Abstract

A semiconductor device for evaluating characteristics of a transistor is provided. The semiconductor device includes a substrate, an active area defined on the substrate, an insulated gate configured to be formed on the active area, a first source layer and a first drain layer configured to be formed on the active area in a first two-way direction of the gate, and a second source layer and a second drain layer configured to be formed on the active area in a second two-way direction of the gate. The first source layer, the first drain layer, and the second drain layer are formed as a first conductive type. The second source layer is formed as a second conductive type.
