A semiconductor device and manufacturing method thereof is disclosed in which a connection pad layer for securing a contact margin is formed on a first conductivity-type area whereas electrodes are connected directly through openings on a second conductivity-type area without the connection pad layer. In the method, an insulating layer is formed on the overall surface of a substrate. Using a mask pattern for exposing the first conductivity-type area, the insulating layer placed on an exposed portion is anisotropically etched so that the remaining insulating layer serves as an impurity-implantation preventing mask in a succeeding first conductivity-type impurity implantation step. A material layer for the connection pad layer is formed prior to the impurity-implantation step and patterned after the impurity implantation. In forming the second conductivity-type area, an additional insulating layer is formed, and using a mask pattern for exposing the second conductivity area, selectively and anisotropically etched so that the remaining insulating layer or the mask pattern for exposing the second conductivity-type area serves as an impurity-implantation preventing mask. |
