Abstract
Abstract A semiconductor device features pairs of contact areas and associated supply conductor points of attachment in a preferred arrangement which facilitates the manufacturing of the device. The intersection of the locus of all the lines defined by each contact area and associated supply conductor point of attachment is a single point.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
A semiconductor device comprising a semiconductor body, a plurality of contact areas on the semiconductor body, a plurality of corresponding supply conductors each having an associated point of attachment, and means to conductively connect at least one of the supply conductors between an association contact area and the corresponding point of attachment, each of said contact areas and each of said corresponding point of attachment forming a pair lying along an imaginary line to thereby form a plurality of imaginary lines all of said imaginary lines having a common point of intersection, at least three of the distances from said common point of intersection to said contact areas being different.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
110 words
A semiconductor device comprising a semiconductor body, a plurality of contact areas on the semiconductor body, a plurality of corresponding supply conductors each having an associated point of attachment, and means to conductively connect at least one of the supply conductors between an association contact area and the corresponding point of attachment, each of said contact areas and each of said corresponding point of attachment forming a pair lying along an imaginary line to thereby form a plurality of imaginary lines all of said imaginary lines having a common point of intersection, at least three of the distances from said common point of intersection to said contact areas being different.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A semiconductor device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said point of intersection lies at the center of the semiconductor device.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
A semiconductor device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the separation between each of said contact areas and each of said corresponding points of attachment being substantially equal.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
51 words
A semiconductor device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said contact areas comprise a plurality of groups, the separation between each of said contact areas and each of said corresponding points of attachment being the same for all the contact areas in one of said groups but different for different groups.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
61 words
A semiconductor device as claimed in claim 3, wherein two of said groups are present, the separations between each of said contact areas and each of said corresponding points of attachment of one of said groups lying diametrically opposite the separations between each of said contact areas and each of said corresponding points of attachment of the other of said groups.
