Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a first insulating film, a first wiring, a second insulating film, and a second wiring. The first insulating film is formed on a semiconductor substrate. The first wiring is formed on the first insulating film. The second insulating film is provided on the first insulating film to cover the first wiring. The second wiring is formed on the second insulating film. Furthermore, the second insulating film has a first opening part and a second opening part which expose the first wiring. The second wiring has a seed layer and a first plating layer. The first plating layer covers an entire side surface of the seed layer. The seed layer is not provided in the second opening part and a periphery thereof.
