Abstract
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, includes: alternately stacking a first film and a second film on a surface of a semiconductor substrate to form a multilayer film; partially removing the multilayer film to form stacks and a depression between one of the stacks and another one of the stacks and expose an end portion of the surface; forming a first insulating film to fill the depression; forming a first protective film on the stacks, the first insulating film, and the end portion; forming a second insulating film on the first protective film, the second insulating film overlapping at least a part of the other one of the stacks and the end portion; and removing the second insulating film in a thickness direction using chemical mechanical polishing.
