Abstract

A semiconductor device having a semiconductor substrate, an impurity diffused layer formed in a principal surface of the semiconductor substrate, a conductive member formed on the semiconductor substrate adjacent to the impurity diffused layer and having a sloped surface inclined to the principal surface of the semiconductor substrate, an insulator film deposited to cover the impurity diffused layer and the conductive member, and a common contact hole formed through the insulator film to extend over a surface of the impurity diffused layer and the sloped surface of the conductive member.
