Abstract
A connection portion connects a copper-based first wiring layer with a copper-based second wiring layer arranged on the upper side of a first diffusion barrier film. The first diffusion barrier film includes a first opening region formed in a semiconductor circuit region that is a partial region in a two-dimensional view and a second opening region formed as an opening region different from the first opening region in a two-dimensional view. The opening regions are formed in a region different from an opening region formed to allow the connection portion to pass through the first diffusion barrier film. A mark wiring layer is arranged immediately above the second opening region as the same layer as the second wiring layer. A second diffusion barrier film is arranged in contact with the upper surface of the mark wiring layer.
