Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a logic circuit provided on the substrate, a wiring layer including a plurality of wirings that are provided above the logic circuit, a first insulating film below the wiring layer, a plug, and a second insulating film. Each of the wirings contains copper and extends along a surface plane of the substrate in a first direction. The wirings are arranged along the surface plane of the substrate in a second direction different from the first direction. The plug extends through the first insulating film in a third direction crossing the first and second directions and is electrically connected to one of the wirings. The plug contains tungsten. The second insulating film is provided between the first insulating film and the plug.
