Disclosed is a semiconductor device in which a resistance component resulting from wiring is reduced. A plurality of transistor units are arranged side by side in a first direction, each of which has a plurality of transistors. The gate electrodes of the transistors extend in the first direction. First source wiring extends between first transistor unit and second transistor unit, and first drain wiring extends between the second transistor unit and third transistor unit. Second drain wiring extends on the side of the first transistor unit opposite to the side where the first source wiring extends, and second source wiring extends on the side of the third transistor unit opposite to the side where the second drain wiring extends.

Field-effect transistor (FET) devices are described herein that include one or more body contacts implemented near source, gate, drain (S/G/D) assemblies to improve the influence of a voltage applied at the body contact on the S/G/D assemblies. For example, body contacts can be implemented between S/G/D assemblies rather than on the ends of such assemblies. This can advantageously improve body contact influence on the S/G/D assemblies while maintaining a targeted size for the FET device.
