Abstract

A method for fabricating semiconductor devices having multi-layered wiring structure with an advanced reliability and free from shortcircuit failure between the upper and lower wirings is provided. The method has a step for forming on a first insulating film, having a conductive body exposed thereon, a second insulating film so as to cover the conductive body, and a step for forming by etching a recess to the second insulating film so as to reach the conductive body. In this case at least the lower portion of the second insulating film is formed with a material showing a faster etching rate over at least the upper portion of the first insulating film.
