Abstract
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. A contact mold film is formed on the substrate, and first holes are formed through the contact mold film. A wiring mold film is formed on the contact mold film so that a first air gap is formed in the first holes. Thereby forming trenches exposing the first holes in the wiring mold film. After forming the trenches, the wiring mold film which is interposed in the first holes and defines the first air gap is continuously etched to form second holes. Within the trenches and the second holes, wirings and contacts connected to the respective wirings are formed.
