Semiconductor device having interconnection layer with multiply layered sidewall insulation film

摘要

The semiconductor device comprises an interconnection layer 14 formed on a substrate 10, a cap insulation film 22 formed on the upper surface of the interconnection layer 14, and a sidewall insulation film which is formed on the side walls of the interconnection layer 14 and the cap insulation film 22 and which includes a larger layer number of insulation films 24, 26 28 covering the side wall of the interconnection layer 14 at the side wall of the cap insulation film 22 than a layer number of insulation films 24, 26 at the side wall of the cap insulation film 22. Accordingly, the sidewall insulation film can be thickened at the side wall of the interconnection layer 14, whereby a parasitic capacitance between the interconnection layer 14 and the electrodes 32 adjacent to the interconnection layer 14 through the sidewall insulation film can be low.
