Abstract
There are described a semiconductor device having multilayer wiring and a method for manufacturing the semiconductor device, wherein an interconnection hole for interconnecting an upper wiring layer to a lower wiring layer is formed correctly, thereby improving the reliability of multilayer wiring. A lower silicon oxide film, an upper silicon oxide film, and a silicon nitride film to be interposed therebetween are formed on a spin-on-glass (SOG) film. Enlarged openings for interconnection holes are formed only within the upper silicon oxide film while the silicon nitride film is used as an etch stopper, thereby preventing extension of the enlarged openings to the SOG film.
