ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor memory device includes: a first dielectric formed on top of a semiconductor substrate; a contact plug embedded in the first dielectric; a second dielectric formed on top of the first interlayer dielectric; an interconnection layer embedded in a groove formed in the second dielectric on top of the contact plug; and an insulating film formed in the second dielectric adjacent to a side surface of the interconnection layer. The contact plug has a notch in a part of a top surface of the contact plug. The insulating film is formed to extend from a top surface of the second dielectric to the notch included in the contact plug.
