Semiconductor device having an interconnected film with tapered edge

摘要

A semiconductor device comprises an element separating insulation film formed on a main surface of a silicon substrate, an insulation film formed to project from the edge portion of the element separating insulation film onto a part of a silicon region of the substrate and having a thickness smaller than the thickness of the element separating insulation film, a first metal silicide film formed to cover the element separating insulation film and the thin insulation film in the vicinity of the edge portion of the element separating insulation film, a second metal silicide film formed on the silicon region in the vicinity of the thin insulation film, and a third metal silicide film formed in the vicinity of the tip portion of the thin insulation film for connecting the first and and second metal silicide films.
