Abstract

Disclosed is a semiconductor device comprising a semiconductor substrate, a first metal wiring and a fuse, both being formed as the same level above the semiconductor substrate, a first insulating film formed on the first metal wiring and the fuse, the first insulating film having a first pad opening arriving at the first metal wiring, a second metal wiring formed at least within the first pad opening, the second metal wiring not extending above the fuse, a stopper film formed on the first insulating film and the second metal wiring, and a second insulating film formed above the stopper film. A second pad opening is formed to expose the second metal wiring by removing the second insulating film and the stopper film, a fuse opening is formed above at least the fuse by removing the second insulating film and the stopper film, and by removing the first insulating film incompletely.
