Semiconductor device and method of manufacturing the same
An upper surface of a plug (PL 1 ) is formed so as to be higher than an upper surface of an interlayer insulating film (PIL) by forming the interlayer insulating film (PIL) on a semiconductor substrate ( 1 S), completing a CMP method for forming the plug (PL 1 ) inside the interlayer insulating film (PIL), and then, making the upper surface of the interlayer insulating film (PIL) to recede. In this manner, reliability of connection between the plug (PL 1 ) and a wiring (W 1 ) in a vertical direction can be ensured. Also, the wiring (W 1 ) can be formed so as not to be embedded inside the interlayer insulating film (PIL), or a formed amount by the embedding can be reduced.
