Abstract

Provided are a method for manufacturing contact structure to prevent, in the wire of a borderless structure, erosion in the contact area between the wire and a conductor. An interlayer insulating film (300) having a wire burying hole is formed and a conductor (400) is buried in the hole. Then, a wire layer (500) covering the hole is formed on the interlayer insulating film (300). The wire layer (500) is made so as to have a borderless structure by using a resist (540) as a mask. A barrier metal layer (510) suppresses erosion in the contact area between the conductor (400) and the wire layer (500).
