Abstract: Improvements are achieved in the characteristics of a nonvolatile memory. In plan view, in a first isolation region which is an element isolation region surrounded by a first fin, a second fin, a memory gate electrode, and another memory gate electrode, a protruding portion is provided. In a second isolation region which is the element isolation region overlapping the memory gate electrode in plan view, a second isolation portion is provided to set the protruding portion higher in level than the second isolation portion. In a step of lowering a top surface of the element isolation region located between the first and second fins, a part of the element isolation region located between the first and second fins is covered with a mask film to form the protruding portion. Using the protruding portion, a short circuit between the memory gate electrodes due to a gate residue is prevented.

Abstract: In a power feeding region of a memory cell (MC) in which a sidewall-shaped memory gate electrode (MG) of a memory nMIS (Qnm) is provided by self alignment on a side surface of a selection gate electrode (CG) of a selection nMIS (Qnc) via an insulating film, a plug (PM) which supplies a voltage to the memory gate electrode (MG) is embedded in a contact hole (CM) formed in an interlayer insulating film (9) formed on the memory gate electrode (MG) and is electrically connected to the memory gate electrode (MG). Since a cap insulating film (CAP) is formed on an upper surface of the selection gate electrode (CG), the electrical conduction between the plug (PM) and the selection gate electrode (CG) can be prevented.

Abstract: A semiconductor device manufacturing method which eliminates the possibility that when a film is processed several times, a thin photoresist film is made over a pattern used as an alignment mark, etc. and the pattern is exposed from the photoresist film and removed in a processing step, in order to improve the reliability of a semiconductor device. Patterns used as alignment marks, etc. are linear trenches as openings in a conductive film made over a semiconductor substrate, thereby preventing the photoresist film over the conductive film from flowing toward the openings in the conductive film.
