Abstract
A semiconductor integrated circuit device includes transistors that perform differential amplification. Dummy transistors are formed at positions different from the transistors in the depth direction and overlapping the transistors in planar view. Active regions of the transistors are formed line-symmetrically, and active regions of the dummy transistors are also formed line-symmetrically with respect to the same symmetric axis. In the active regions of the dummy transistors, sources and drains at symmetrical positions have the same electrical connection state.
