Abstract
In a semiconductor device, a memory region and a logic region are provided on one silicon substrate. A trench is provided in the silicon substrate in the memory region, a memory cell transistor is provided in the memory region and a logic transistor is provided in the logic region. The memory cell transistor includes a first gate electrode constituted by a metal material. The first gate electrode is provided to be buried in the trench and to protrude outside of the trench. The logic transistor includes a second gate electrode constituted by same material as the metal material constituting the first gate electrode.
