Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, an electrode disposed on an upper surface of the substrate, and a transistor element disposed on the upper surface of the substrate. The transistor element continuously surrounds the electrode and includes a plurality of contacts that are electrically connected to the electrode. Additionally, the transistor element compactly surrounds the electrode with a threshold distance.
