Abstract

According to one embodiment, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a fin in an upper surface of a semiconductor substrate to extend in a first direction, forming a mask film, making a plurality of first trenches in the mask film to extend in a second direction to reach the fin, filling sidewall members into the first trenches, making a second trench by removing the mask film from a portion of a space between the sidewall members, forming a gate insulating film and a gate electrode on a surface of a first portion of the fin disposed inside the second trench, making a third trench by removing the mask film from the remaining space between the sidewall members, and causing a second portion of the fin disposed inside the third trench to become a conductor.
