Abstract

The present invention relates to a multilayer wiring structure for a semiconductor device which can be designed without sacrificing either a micronization or electric properties, and a manufacturing method of the same. A first wiring layer and a third wiring layer are connected by a lower layer contact plug which fills a lower layer contact hole interposing a silicon nitride film spacer, and an upper layer contact plug which fills an upper layer contact hole interposing a silicon oxide film spacer. A second wiring layer divided into more than two portions by the upper layer contact hole near an upper end of the lower layer contact hole is connected by a ring-shaped conductive film spacer.
