Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a substrate. A first heat dissipation layer is disposed on the substrate and extends in a first direction. A metal layer is disposed on the first heat dissipation layer and extends in the first direction. A width of the first heat dissipation layer in a second direction intersecting the first direction is greater than a width of the metal layer in the second direction. The first heat dissipation layer has a structure made of carbon atoms and includes at least one among graphene, nanotubes, and a diamond structure.
