SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

摘要

A semiconductor device includes a pillar-shaped silicon layer on a fin-shaped silicon layer. A gate insulating film and a metal gate electrode are around the pillar-shaped silicon layer and a metal gate line extends in a direction perpendicular to the fin-shaped silicon layer and is connected to the metal gate electrode. A contact resides on the metal gate line and a nitride film is on an entire top surface of the metal gate electrode and the metal gate line, except for the bottom of the contact. A vertical thickness of the nitride film relative to the substrate is greater than a horizontal thickness of the nitride film on the sidewall of the metal gate electrode and gate line relative to the substrate.
