An antenna capable of receiving circularly polarized waves and performing
impedance matching between the antenna and an IC (integrated circuit) of
a semiconductor device, and a semiconductor device having such an
antenna. The antenna has a first conductor pattern with a loop
configuration having a cut section, a second conductor pattern, a third
conductor pattern, and a feeding section. A first end portion of the
second conductor pattern and a first end portion of the third conductor
pattern are connected to the first conductor pattern. A second end
portion of the second conductor pattern and a second end portion of the
third conductor pattern are connected to the feeding section. The total
length of the second conductor pattern is longer than the total length of
the third conductor pattern, and the second conductor pattern is placed
closer to the cut section than the third conductor pattern is.
