Abstract
According to embodiments, a semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes an insulation layer, an electrode, and a groove. The insulation layer is provided on a surface of a substrate. The electrode is buried in the insulation layer, and a first end surface of the electrode is exposed from the insulation layer. The groove is formed around the electrode on the surface of the substrate. The groove has an outside surface of the electrode as one side surface, and the groove is opened on the surface side of the insulation layer. The first end surface of the electrode buried in the insulation layer protrudes from the surface of the insulation layer.
