    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: The performances of a semiconductor device are improved. In a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, in a memory cell region, a control gate electrode formed of a first conductive film is formed over the main surface of a semiconductor substrate. Then, an insulation film and a second conductive film are formed in such a manner as to cover the control gate electrode, and the second conductive film is etched back. As a result, the second conductive film is left over the sidewall of the control gate electrode via the insulation film, thereby to form a memory gate electrode. Then, in a peripheral circuit region, a p type well is formed in the main surface of the semiconductor substrate. A third conductive film is formed over the p type well. Then, a gate electrode formed of the third conductive film is formed.

    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.
