ABSTRACT:
In a conventional semiconductor device, an excessive etching occurs in a section where an opening for contact plug is formed, causing a damage to a diffusion layer located under the opening.A semiconductor device1includes a region D1for forming an electric circuit, and a seal ring30(guard ring) that surrounds the region D1for forming the electric circuit. A DRAM40is formed in the region D1for forming the electric circuit. Interlayer insulating films22, 24, 26and28are formed on a semiconductor substrate10. The seal ring30is formed in the interlayer insulating films22, 24, 26and28, and at least a portion there of is located spaced apart from the semiconductor substrate10.
