Abstract

A semiconductor device is provided which is improved to be capable of stably forming a contact hole. A stopper film is provided on a gate electrode. An interlayer insulating film is provided on a semiconductor substrate to cover the gate electrode. The interlayer insulating film and the stopper film are penetrated by a first contact hole which exposes a surface of the gate electrode. The interlayer insulating film is provided with a second contact hole for exposing a surface of an impurity diffusion layer. The stopper film is formed of a material higher in etch selectivity than the interlayer insulating film.
