Abstract
A semiconductor device (T,B) includes: a substrate (); a first metal layer () supported on the substrate (), the first metal layer () including a plurality of first wires (); an insulating layer () provided on the first metal layer (); a second metal layer () provided on the insulating layer (), the second metal layer () including a plurality of second wires (); an insulative protection layer () covering part of each of the plurality of second wires (), and an electrically-conductive layer () provided on the insulative protection layer (). In a cross section including a boundary between a first region (R) in which the insulative protection layer () is provided and a second region (R) in which the insulative protection layer () is not provided, a surface of the insulating layer () which is on the insulative protection layer () side has a step between two of the second wires which adjoin each other.
