A semiconductor device includes a first to a third wiring-line. The first wiring-line is provided on a first layer in a first direction. The second wiring-line is provided on the first layer in the first direction. A first side surface of the second wiring-line faces the first wiring-line. A second side surface of the second wiring-line is opposite to the first side surface. The third wiring-line is provided on the first layer in the first direction, and faces the second side surface of the second wiring-line. An end portion of the first wiring-line projects further from an end portion of the second wiring-line in the first direction. The end portion of the second wiring-line projects further from an end portion of the third wiring-line in the first direction, and curves toward the third wiring-line. Alternatively, the end portion of the second wiring-line increases in width toward its edge portion.

Semiconductor device having a wiring line with an end portion having rounded side surfaces and manufacturing method thereof

According to an embodiment, a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device includes forming, on a film to be processed, a plurality of first core material patterns and a plurality of second core material patterns. Each of the second core material patterns is drawn from an end portion of the corresponding first core material pattern. The manufacturing method includes forming an opening pattern having one or a plurality of openings in the second core material pattern so that a first distance and a second distance are less than a predetermined distance. The first distance is a distance between an edge of the second core material pattern at a side of an adjacent first core material pattern and the opening pattern. The second distance is a distance between an edge of the second core material pattern at a side of an adjacent second core material pattern and the opening pattern.
