ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device of the present invention comprises: a substrate; a plurality of wiring layers formed over the substrate; a fuse formed in an uppermost one of the plurality of wiring layers; a first insulating film made up of a single film and formed on the uppermost wiring layer such that the first insulating film is in contact with a surface of the fuse; and a second insulating film formed on the first insulating film; wherein the second insulating film has an opening therein formed above a fuse region of the uppermost wiring layer such that only the first insulating film exists above the fuse region, the fuse region including the fuse and being irradiated with a laser beam when the fuse is blown.
