The present invention is directed to a semiconductor integrated circuit device that basically has a non-memory array area, a memory array area, and memory capacitors formed across lower embedded metal interconnection layers including a low-dielectric constant interlayer insulating film in the memory array area. In addition, a memory-periphery metal seal ring is provided in the lower embedded metal interconnection layers having at least the low-dielectric constant interlayer insulating film so as to surround the memory array area.
