Abstract
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes forming of an interlayer insulating film on a semiconductor substrate; etching the interlayer insulating film to form a contact hole and an alignment hole wider than the contact hole; depositing a first metal layer having a thickness thicker than a half of the width of the contact hole and thinner than a half of the width of the alignment hole; etching the first metal layer so that a bottom surface of the alignment hole are exposed and the first metal layer remains covering a bottom surface of the contact hole; treating the semiconductor substrate based on the position of the alignment hole; and cutting a part of the semiconductor substrate including the alignment hole to divide a semiconductor device having the contact hole from the semiconductor substrate.
