Semiconductor device with fixed resistance and variable resistance elements

Abstract

Provided is a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a first circuit that includes a plurality of fixed resistance elements connected in series; a second circuit that includes a plurality of variable resistance elements connected in series and that is connected in series to the first circuit; a first cover portion that is provided on an upper layer side of the first circuit and that covers the first circuit; and a second cover portion that is provided on an upper layer side of the second circuit and that covers the second circuit. The first cover portion included two or more first metal films electrically connected, correspondingly, to units having any number of the fixed resistance elements, and the second cover portion includes a second metal film electrically connected to the plurality of the variable resistance elements.
