Abstract
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor substrate device includes a plurality of memory elements formed on the top surface of a semiconductor substrate, interlayer insulating films buried between the adjacent memory elements, a protection film formed on sides of each of the memory elements and the top surface of the semiconductor substrate between the adjacent memory elements, and contacts formed in the interlayer insulating films. The protection film includes a first protection film formed on the sides of each of the memory elements and the top surface of the semiconductor substrate between the adjacent memory elements and a second protection film formed on the first protection film. The first protection film is made of a silicon oxide film, a silicon nitride film, or a silicon oxynitride film, and the second protection film is made of a boron film or a boron nitride film.
