A silicon oxide film is formed to cover a polysilicon plug. A bowing shaped hole is formed. A barrier metal and a metal film are formed, which are successively subjected to prescribed anisotropic etching. Here, because of the RIE-lag effect, the etch rate of the barrier metal becomes smaller in the portion between the side surface of the hole and the metal film than in the other portions, preventing the exposure of the surface of the polysilicon plug. Thus, a semiconductor device ensuring a good electrical connection of metal interconnections is obtained.

Semiconductor device and manufacturing method thereof

An interconnection layer 3 in a floating state and an interlayer insulating film 6 are formed on a semiconductor substrate. A connection hole 4 penetrating the interlayer insulating film and the interconnection layer is formed by dry etching with fluorocarbon. Filled in the connection hole is a conductive member 5 which is electrically connected to the interconnection layer. Accordingly, an improved method for manufacturing a semiconductor device offering a reduced contact resistance even for an extremely small contact hole is obtained.

Method of manufacturing semiconductor device

A semiconductor device appropriate for increased integrity in which occurrence of electrical short-circuit between a conductor for connecting a bit line and a semiconductor substrate and a gate electrode is obtained. In this semiconductor device, a first insulation layer, a second insulation layer, and a third insulation layer are formed between a first interconnection layer on the semiconductor substrate and a second interconnection layer. The etching rates of the first insulation layer and the second insulation layer are lower than the etching rate of the third insulation layer.
