Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a semiconductor device and a method of fabricating the same, and more particularly to a semiconductor device having a memory device and a method of fabricating the same. [Prior Art 1] Recently, a semiconductor device in which a memory element is provided at a intersection of a wiring on the lower layer side and a wiring on the upper layer side has been proposed. 10 Figure 27 is a perspective view showing the proposed semiconductor device. As shown in Fig. 27, the plurality of wires 128 are formed in parallel with each other on a semiconductor device (not shown). The plurality of wires 132 are formed above the wires 128 in parallel with each other in such a manner as to intersect the wires 128. A memory element (resistance memory element 15) 130 is provided at a portion where the wiring 128 on the lower layer side and the wiring 132 on the upper layer side intersect each other. The wiring 128 on the lower layer side is connected to the lower electrode of the memory element 130 (not shown), and the wiring 132 on the upper layer side is connected to the upper electrode of the memory element 13 (not shown). Since the memory element 130 is provided at the intersection of the wiring 128 on the lower layer side and the wiring 132 on the upper layer side, the semiconductor device shown in Fig. 27 is called an intersection type memory element. The resistive memory element 130 is a resistor that sandwiches a pair of electrodes by a resistor that changes the state of the resistor by applying a voltage. Once the resistance memory element 13 施 applied to the high resistance state is slowly raised, when the voltage exceeds a certain value, the resistance value sharply decreases, and the resistance memory element 13 〇 shifts to the low resistance state. On the other hand, when the voltage applied to the resistance memory element 200901442 of the low resistance state is gradually increased in the opposite direction to the low resistance state, when the voltage exceeds a certain value, the resistance value is sharply Increasing, the resistive memory element 130 transitions to a high resistance state. The high-resistance state and the low-resistance state of the associated memory element 130 are assigned, for example, to the corresponding "0" and "1" of the information, and can be utilized as a memory element. As described above, the proposed semiconductor device can write data to the resistive memory element by simply applying a voltage to the resistive memory element. Further, when a predetermined read current is supplied to the resistance memory element, the state of the current value flowing through the resistance memory element is measured, and the data can be read. The proposed semiconductor 10 device can achieve high speed, large capacity, low power consumption, etc., and thus can be expected to have a future. Further, the background of the present invention is as follows. Patent Document 1: JP-A-2002-530850 15 Patent Document 2: US Patent No. 7020012 Specification Patent Document 3: Patent No. 3449998

[Embodiment] BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Fig. 28 is a cross-sectional view showing the steps of a manufacturing method in which a conventionally proposed method is applied to a conventional semiconductor device. First, an interlayer insulating film 120 composed of, for example, a tantalum oxide film is formed on a semiconductor substrate 20 110 on which a transistor (not shown) is formed. Next, the conductor socket 122 and the wiring 128 are embedded in the interlayer insulating film 120. The longitudinal direction of the wiring 128 forms a plurality of memory elements 130 having the left-right direction of the paper surface of Fig. 28. The memory element 130 is formed in a matrix as shown in Fig. 27. Next, an interlayer insulating film 144 is formed. Next, the photoresist film 154 is entirely formed. Next, an opening portion 156 for forming the via hole 146 is formed on the photoresist crucible 154 by 12 200901442 photolithography. Next, the interlayer insulating film is etched by using the photoresist film 154 as a mask, whereby the via hole 146 exposing the upper electrode of the memory element 13 is formed. In the case where the pattern position of the opening portion 156 for forming the via hole 146 is shifted, as shown in Fig. 28 (4), the via hole 146 reaches the wiring 128 of the lower electrode 134 and the lower layer side of the memory element 130. Hey. In the case where the conductor socket 132 is embedded in such a guide hole 146, as shown in Fig. (b), the upper electrode and the lower electrode of the 5 memory element 13 are connected. That is, in this case, the wiring (not shown in the figure) connected to the upper layer side of the conductor receptacle 132 is short-circuited with the wiring 128 on the lower layer side, and the normal operation cannot be performed. Further, a case where the via hole is formed in the interlayer insulating film 120 by using the rhyme blocking film can also be considered. Fig. 29 and Fig. 3 are sectional views showing the steps of a manufacturing method in which a conventional semiconductor device is used to improve the above-described defects and the residual film is used. The step of forming the memory element 13 from the semiconductor substrate in which the transistor (which is not shown) has been formed to form the memory device 13 is the same as the method of manufacturing the semiconductor device described above with reference to FIG. 28 (8). The process 20 is omitted. Then, the (four) blocking film 140 composed of, for example, a stone nitride film is formed in an all-round manner. Next, an interlayer insulating film M4 composed of, for example, a cut oxide film is formed in an all-round manner. The receiver fully forms the photo-resistance film 154. An opening portion 156 for forming the via hole 146 is then formed on the photoresist film 154 using photolithography technology 13 200901442. Next, a via hole 146 for exposing the upper electrode 128 of the memory element 130 is formed by using the photoresist film 154 as a mask and etching the interlayer insulating film 144. In the case where the pattern of the opening portion 156 for forming the via hole 146 is shifted more than the film thickness of the etching stopper film 5 I40, as shown in Fig. 29 (a), the via hole 146 is present in the lower layer. The etch on the side wiring 128 blocks the film 140. Once the film 14 is exposed to the inside of the via hole 146, the film 14 is removed, and as shown in Fig. 29(b), the via hole 146 reaches the line 10 of the lower layer side. In the case where the conductor socket 132 is intended to be inserted into such a guide hole 146, as shown in Fig. 30, the upper electrode 138 and the lower electrode 134 of the memory element 13 are short-circuited. That is, in this case, the wiring (not shown) connected to the upper layer side of the conductor receptacle 132 is short-circuited with the wiring 128 on the lower layer side, and cannot be normally operated. As described above, the short circuit of the wiring 132 on the upper layer side and the wiring 128 on the lower layer side is not established, and the wiring 132 on the upper layer side is surely connected to the upper electrode 138 of the memory element 130. [First Embodiment] 20 A semiconductor device constructed in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention and a method of manufacturing the same will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 11 .

Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing a part of a semiconductor device constructed in accordance with the present embodiment. The field 2 on the right side of the paper surface of Fig. 1 indicates the field in which the plurality of memory elements are arranged in a matrix, that is, the field of the memory cell, and the field 4 5 on the left side of the paper on the first drawing indicates the field separated from the memory cell field 2. As shown in Fig. 1, an element isolation region 12 defining the element regions 13a' 13b is formed on the semiconductor substrate 10. The transistor i8a having the gate electrode 14a and the source/drain diffusion layers 16a and 16b is formed by the element region 13a established by the element isolation region 12. Further, a transistor having a gate electrode 14b and source/dot diffusion layers 16c and 16d is formed by the element region 13b established by the element isolation region 12. An interlayer insulating film 20 made of, for example, a stone oxide film is formed on the semiconductor substrate 10 on which the transistors 18a and 18b are formed. The interlayer insulating film 20 is formed with a via hole 22a which can reach the source 15 / the gate diffusion layer 16a on one side of the transistor 18a, and a trench 24a which is connected to the via hole 22a. The plurality of grooves 24a are formed in parallel on the interlayer insulating film 20. The longitudinal direction of the groove 24a is the left-right direction of the paper surface of Fig. 1. Further, the interlayer insulating film 20 is formed with a via hole 22b which can reach the source/polar diffusion layer 16d on one side of the transistor 18b, and a trench 20 24a which is connected to the via hole 22b. The via hole 22b and the trench 24b are formed in the field 2 separated from the memory cell domain. A conductor socket 26a and a wiring 28a made of, for example, Cu (copper), W (tungsten) or the like are embedded in the via hole 22a in which the interlayer insulating film 20 is formed and in the trench 24a. The wiring 28a of this embodiment is integrally formed with the conductor socket 26a. Alternatively, the conductor socket 26a may be formed by W, and the wiring 28a may be formed of Cu. The plurality of wires 28a respectively embedded in the plurality of grooves 15a are formed in parallel with each other. The longitudinal direction of the wiring 28a is the left-right direction of the paper surface of Fig. 1. The wiring 28a is connected to the source/drain diffusion layer 16a on one side of the transistor 18a via the conductor socket 26a. A conductor socket 26b and a wiring 28b made of, for example, Cu, W or the like are embedded in the via hole 22b and the trench 24b formed in the interlayer insulating film 20. In the present embodiment, the wiring 28b is integrally formed with the conductor socket 26b, but the conductor socket 26b may be formed by w, and the wiring 28b may be formed by Cu. The wiring 28b is connected to the source/drain diffusion layer 16d on one side of the transistor 18b via the conductor socket 26b. On the wiring 28a embedded in the interlayer insulating film 20, a plurality of memory elements 10 are formed, and more specifically, a resistance memory element is formed. The memory element 3 is disposed at the intersection of the wiring 28a on the lower layer side and the wiring 32a on the upper layer side as shown in Fig. 2, respectively. Therefore, the plurality of memory elements are integrally arranged in a matrix. The resistive memory element 3G memorizes a high resistance state and a low resistance state, and is a memory element that switches between a high resistance state and a low resistance state in accordance with an applied voltage. 15 & tree 3 () includes a lower electrode 34, a resistive memory layer 36 formed on the lower electrode 34, and an upper electrode 38 formed on the resistive memory layer %.

The composite metal oxide contains an oxide of two or more kinds of metals. Examples of the metal contained in the composite metal oxide include a transition metal alkaline earth metal, a rare earth metal, and the like. The material used for the resistive memory layer 36 is, for example, 3. The resistive memory layer may be composed of a single layer film or a laminated film formed by sequentially laminating films of mutually different materials. Upper electric 16 200901442 The material of the pole 38 is used, for example, pt or the like. Once the resistance of the resistive element 30 in the high-resistance state is gradually increased, the electric dust exceeds a certain value (the set voltage Vs is sharply reduced, and the resistive memory element is transferred to the low-resistance state. Such 5 The action is generally referred to as "setting." In contrast, the voltage is applied to the resistive memory element 30 in the high resistance state in the opposite direction to the low resistance state, and the voltage exceeds a certain value (set voltage Vr^). The resistance value increases sharply by 10: the hidden element shifts to the high resistance state. Such an action is generally referred to as "reset according to such an action, and simply applying a voltage to the memory piece 30 can control the resistance memory element. The resistance state. Further, when a predetermined read current flows through the resistive memory element 3, the current value flowing through the resistive memory element 30 can be read by the data 疋15 on the semiconductor substrate 10 on which the memory element 30 is formed. On the other hand, an insulating film (protective film) 4{) made of, for example, an oxide film is formed to cover the memory element %. The core film 40 will be described later, and the insulating film made of the (tetra) film is used for polishing. Therefore, it is a function of the polishing stopper layer. Therefore, a material having a very slow polishing rate with respect to the insulating film 42 formed of the stone gasification film can be used as a material of the insulating film. Further, the insulating film composed of the oxide film has The function of preventing hydrogen, moisture, and the like from reaching the barrier film of the resistive memory layer 36. Since hydrogen and moisture can be prevented from reaching the resistive memory layer 36, it is possible to prevent the electric resistance = the memristive layer 36 from being reduced, and a memory having good electrical characteristics can be obtained. When the element 5 is formed to be embedded in the wiring 3 2 a, the trench 46 is formed on the insulating layer 4 4 and the insulating film 17 200901442 40. When the insulating film is excessively etched, the trench 46 reaches the lower electrode 34. The wiring 28a of the lower layer. In this case, the lower electrode 34 of the memory element 30 is short-circuited with the upper electrode 38, so that the memory element 30 cannot operate normally. The etching speed of the insulating film 4 formed by the oxidized chain film is relative to that of the germanium oxide film. The etching rate of the insulating film 44 is slower. Therefore, when the trench 46 is formed in the insulating film 44, the insulating film 40 is not excessively etched. The semiconductor formed with the insulating film 40 made of an aluminum oxide film is formed. The board 1 is formed with an insulating film 42 made of, for example, a tantalum nitride film 4 to embed the memory 30. In other words, a plurality of memory elements formed on the side 1 side of the insulating layer 4 made of an aluminum oxide film. An insulating film 42 made of a tantalum nitride film is filled between the layers 30. The upper portion of the insulating layer 42 made of a tantalum nitride film is polished using the insulating film 40 made of an aluminum oxide film as a polishing stopper layer. There is no insulating film made of tantalum nitride on the memory element 30. The height of the upper surface of the insulating film 4 made of an aluminum oxide film on the memory element 30 and the insulating film made of a 15 stone nitride film The upper surface 42 has the same height. When the groove 46 for the wiring 32a is formed on the insulating film made of the tantalum oxide film, the insulating film 42 made of the tantalum nitride film has a function as an etching stopper. An insulating film made of, for example, a ridge oxide film is formed on the insulating film 40 made of an oxidized film and the insulating film 42 made of a cerium nitride. 2〇 The insulating film composed of the oxide film and the insulating film 42 made of the Shihua nitride film are formed to be used for the purpose of the wiring. The plurality of trenches 46 formed in the insulating layer '44 are parallel to each other. The longitudinal direction of the groove 46 is the vertical direction of the paper surface of the first drawing. The groove 46 is formed in a state in which the upper surface of the memory element 3 is exposed. As the first! In the case where the pattern of the groove 46 is shifted in the left-right direction of the paper surface, it is known that the insulating film 4 不仅 not only on the memory element 3 but also the insulating film covering the side of the memory element 30 is known. A portion of the 40, even a portion of the insulating film 42 formed to embed the memory element 30, is also engraved. However, the etching rate of the insulating film 40 made of an aluminum oxide film is, for example, about one third of the etching rate of the insulating film 42 made of a tantalum nitride film. Further, the etching rate of the insulating film 42 composed of the tantalum nitride film is, for example, about one-fifth of the etching rate of the insulating film 44 composed of the tantalum oxide film. Therefore, when the trench 46 for embedding the wiring 32a is formed on the insulating films 4, 44, the insulating film 40 composed of the aluminum telluride film and the insulating film 42 composed of the tantalum nitride film are not excessively etched. engraved. According to this embodiment, when the grooves 46 for embedding the wirings 32a are formed on the insulating films 40 and 44, the grooves 46 can be surely prevented from reaching the lower electrodes 34 and the wirings 28a, and the wirings 28a and the lower portions can be surely prevented. The electrode 34 and the wiring 28a on the lower layer side are short-circuited. Further, in the field 4 separated from the memory cell region, the via holes reaching the wiring 28b are formed in the insulating films 44, 42, 40. A wiring line 32a such as cu or w is embedded in the groove 46 formed in the memory cell region 2. The plurality of wires 32a are formed in parallel with each other. The length direction of the wiring 32a is the vertical direction of the paper. In other words, the longitudinal direction of the wiring 32a on the upper layer side and the longitudinal direction of the wiring 28a on the lower layer side are orthogonal to each other (see Fig. 2).

領域4,呈由矽氮化膜構成的絕緣膜42a不存在的狀態。 於形成有由矽氮化膜構成的絕緣膜42a等之半導體基 板10上,全面开)成有由由石夕氧化膜構成的絕緣膜。 於由氧化銘膜構成之絕緣膜40及由由矽氧化膜構成的 26 200901442 絕緣膜44形成有用以嵌入配線32a的溝46。 在從記憶胞領域分離的領域4,到達配線28b之導孔48 形成於絕緣膜44、40。 於記憶胞領域2且於溝46内埋著由例如Cu、W等構成的 5 配線32a。 在與記憶胞領域分離的領域4且於導孔48内,埋著例如 由Cu、W等構成之導體插座32b。 如此一來構成由本實施樣態構成的半導體裝置。 如上所述,依據本實施樣態,在與記憶胞領域分離的 10領域4研磨去除了由矽氮化膜構成的絕緣膜42a,因此如將 於後段所述在從記憶胞領域分離的領域4形成到達配線28b 之導孔48時,不須蝕刻由矽氮化膜構成的絕緣膜42a。因 此,依據本實施樣態,能刪減要蝕刻由矽氮化膜構成的絕 緣膜42a的步驟(參照第8圖),而能增進半導體裝置的低成本 15 化。 (半導體裝置之製造方法) 以下使用第13圖至第17圖來說明依據本實施樣態所構 成之半導體裝置的製造方法。第13圖至第17圖表示依據本 實施樣態所構成之半導體裝置之製造方法的步驟剖面圖。 20 首先,從於半導體基板10形成元件分離領域12的步驟 至形成由氧化鋁膜構成之絕緣膜40覆蓋記憶元件30的步 驟’與第3®至第6圖所示之第1實施樣態所構成之半導體裝 置的製&方法相同,因此省略說明(參照第13圖)。 八、例如電楽"CVD法全面地形成例如膜厚2〇〇nm之 27 200901442 由石夕氮化膜構成的絕緣膜42a。 接著以例如C Μ P法並以由氧化鋁膜構成之絕緣膜4 〇作 為研磨阻止層而研磨由矽氮化膜構成的絕緣膜42a。此時, 於與記憶胞領域分離之領域4,且在由矽氮化膜構成的絕緣 5膜42a形成非常深的碟狀凹陷60以露出配線28b的上面(參 照第14圖)。使用包含例如由二氧化矽(氧化矽)構成之研磨 粒之研磨劑作為研磨劑。使用該研磨劑的話,與使用包含 鉋構成之研磨粒的情形比較,乃能將碟狀凹陷6〇形成於由 矽氮化膜構成的絕緣膜42a。由於碟狀凹陷6〇形成得非常 10深,因此在與記憶胞領域分離之領域4呈不存在由矽氮化膜 構成的絕緣膜42a的狀態。 又,即使將研磨壓力設得非常高’亦可將碟狀凹陷6〇 形成得非常深。 其次如第15圖所示,以例如電漿CVD法全面地形成例 15如膜厚100nm之由矽氧化膜構成的絕緣膜44。又,可使用包 含碳之矽氧化膜(SiOC膜)等作為絕緣膜44的材料。 其次以旋轉塗敷法全面地形成光阻劑膜54。

200901442 不存在由矽氮化膜構成的絕緣膜42a,因此不需要蝕刻由石夕 氮化膜構成之絕緣膜42a的步驟(參照第8圖),即能形成到達 配線28b的導孔48。依據本實施樣態,可節省蝕刻由矽氮化 膜構成之絕緣膜的步驟(參照第8圖),因此可削減半導體裂 5置的製造成本。 其次,以例如賤鍍法’順序地形成例如膜厚20nm之Ti 膜與膜厚50nm的TiN膜。接著以例如CVD法形成例如w 膜。W膜之膜厚設成溝46之寬度的一半以上。 又,前已說明了使用W作為配線32a及導體插座32b之 10 材料的例子,惟,亦可使用Cu作為配線32a及導體插座32b 的材料。使用Cu作為配線32a及導體插座32b之材料的情形 下’以例如賤鑛法形成Ta(钽)膜。其次,使用例如濺鍍法及 電鍍法而形成Cu膜。如此一來,亦可使用cu作為配線32a 及導體插座32b的材料。 15

;成有由氧化銘膜構成的絕緣膜仙之半導體基板1〇 30 200901442 上’用以嵌入記憶元件30而形成例如由石夕氧化膜構成之絕 緣膜62。換言之,在由氧化鋁膜構成之絕緣膜4〇形成於側 面之複數記憶元件30之間,填充著由矽氧化膜構成之絕緣 膜62。由矽氧化膜構成的絕緣膜62之上層部,使用由氧化 5銘膜構成之絕緣膜40作為研磨阻止層而進行研磨。因此, s己憶元件30上不存在由矽氧化膜構成的絕緣膜62。存在於 記憶元件30上之由氧化鋁膜構成之絕緣膜4〇上面的高度與 由石夕氡化膜構成的絕緣膜62上面的高度相等。蝕刻由矽氮 化膜構成之絕緣膜64時,由矽氧化膜構成的絕緣膜62具有 10作為蝕刻阻止層的功能。 由氧化鋁膜構成之絕緣膜4 0上及由矽氧化膜構成的絕 緣膜62上形成有例如由石夕氮化膜構成之絕緣膜64。由矽氮

20部分,甚至用以嵌入記憶元件30而形成之絕緣膜62的一部 分也會被蚀刻去除。但是’相對於由氧化銘膜構成的絕緣 膜40之姓刻速度’由矽氧化膜構成之絕緣膜62的蝕刻速度 並非明顯快。因此,在蚀刻已露出溝46内之由氧化紹膜構 成之絕緣膜40時’由石夕氧化膜構成之絕緣膜62不會被過度 31 200901442 地蝕刻。依據本實施樣態,將形成用以嵌入配線32a之溝46

15緣膜之蝕刻速度,由氧化鋁膜構成之絕緣膜40的蝕刻速度 及由矽氧化膜構成的絕緣膜62之蚀刻速度非常慢。因此, 由氧化鋁膜構成之絕緣膜40與由矽氮化膜構成的絕緣膜64 不會被過度地蝕刻。 其次,以光阻劑膜54當作遮罩,並藉例如電漿蝕刻來 20 蝕刻由氧化鋁膜構成的絕緣膜40。如第25圖所示,用以形 成溝46之開口部56之圖案於紙面左右方向位置偏移的情形

the via hole 48. Further, a wiring (not shown) similar to the above wiring and a memory element (not shown) similar to the above-described memory element 3 are formed in the upper portion of the wiring 32a. Further, the conductor socket 32b is electrically connected to the wiring provided in the upper portion (not shown) through a conductor socket or the like which is not shown in Fig. 2, 200901442. In this way, the semiconductor device constructed in the present embodiment is constructed. As described above, according to the present embodiment, the insulating film 42 having a very slow etching speed with respect to the insulating film 44' forming the trench 46 for embedding the 5 wiring 32a is formed to be embedded in the memory element 30, and thus is to be embedded. When the groove 46 of the wiring 32a is formed in the insulating film 44, the groove 46 can be surely prevented from reaching the wiring element lower portion 34 and the lower layer side wiring 28a. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the upper layer side wiring 32a can be surely prevented from being The memory element 3 has a short circuit between the lower electric 10 and the lower side of the wiring 28a, and the wiring 仏 on the upper side can be connected to the upper electrode % of the memory element 30. (Manufacturing Method of Semiconductor Device) A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device constructed in accordance with the present embodiment will be described below using Figs. 3 to _. 3 to _ are sectional views showing the steps of a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device constructed in accordance with the present embodiment. First, as shown in Fig. 3, the element isolation region 12 for determining the element regions 13a, 13b is formed on the semiconductor substrate 1A. A transistor 18a having a gate electrode 14& and a source/drain diffusion layer 16a, 16b is formed on the element region 13a. Further, a mesa electrode 14b and a source electrode and a pole diffusion layer UN crystal 18b are formed on the second surface. Next, an interlayer insulating film 2 of, for example, a tantalum oxide film is formed on the semiconductor substrate 1 on which the transistors 18a and 18b are formed. Then, using the photolithography technique, the via hole 22a of the source 20 200901442 / drain diffusion layer 16a reaching one side of the transistor and the source/' and the polar diffusion layer 16d reaching one side of the transistor 8b are used. The via hole 22b is formed in the interlayer insulating film 2''. Next, a groove 24a connected to the guide hole 22a and a groove 24b connected to the guide hole 22b are formed by photolithography. In the field including the memory cell field 2, the plurality of complex grooves 24a are formed in parallel with each other. The longitudinal direction of the groove 24a is the left-right direction of the paper surface of Fig. 3. Next, for example, a film thickness of 2〇nmiTi film and a film thickness of 50 nm of a TiN film are sequentially formed by, for example, a sputtering method. Next, for example, a W film is formed by, for example, a CVD method. The film thickness of the W film is set to be more than half of the width of the grooves 24a and 24b. Further, an example in which W is used as the material of the conductor socket 26a' 26b and the wirings 28a and 28b has been described. It is also possible to use cu as the material of the conductor sockets 26a and 26b and the wiring 28a' 28b. In the case where Cu is used as the material of the conductor receptacles 26a and 26b and the wirings 28a and 28b, a Ta (钽) film is formed by, for example, sputtering. This Ta film has a function as a barrier metal. Next, a Cu film is formed by, for example, sputtering 15 plating and plating. In this way, Cu can also be used as the material of the conductor sockets 26a, 26b and the wirings 28a, 28b. Then, a conductive film made of W or Cu or the like is polished by CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) to expose the surface of the interlayer insulating film 20. Thereby, the conductor socket 26a and the wiring 28a which consist of a conductive film 20 can be inserted in the inside of the guide hole 22a and the groove|channel 24a. Further, a conductor receptacle 26b and a wiring 28b made of a conductive film can be embedded in the via hole 22b and the trench 24b (see Fig. 4). Next, a conductive film 34 composed of, for example, a pt film having a film thickness of 25 nrn is formed in a total of, for example, a sputtering method. The conductive film 34 constitutes the electrode of the lower portion 21 200901442 of the memory element 3 . Next, a composite metal oxide layer 36 having a film thickness of 25 nm is formed entirely by, for example, sputtering. The composite metal oxide layer 36 constitutes a resistive memory layer of the memory element 3A. The composite metal oxide layer 36 is composed of two or more types of gold. The metal contained in the composite metal oxide layer 36 may, for example, be a transition metal, a soil-checking metal, a rare earth metal or the like. The description herein uses, for example, as the composite metal oxide layer 36. Next, a conductive film 38 made of, for example, a Pt film having a film thickness of 25 nm is formed entirely by sputtering, for example. The conductive film 38 constitutes an electrode of the upper portion 10 of the memory element 3A. As a result, a laminated film composed of the conductive film 34, the composite metal oxide layer 36, and the conductive film 38 can be formed. Next, the laminated film is patterned into the shape of the memory element 30. In this manner, the memory element 30 having the lower electrode 34, the resistive memory layer 36, and the upper electrode 15 38 can be formed (see Fig. 5). Further, the case where the lower electrode 34, the resistive memory layer 36, and the upper electrode 38 constitute the structure of the memory element 30 has been described by way of example, but the configuration of the memory element 30 is not limited thereto. For example, a 20-layer laminate in which the resistive memory layer 36 and the diode are laminated may be provided between the lower electrode 34 and the upper electrode 38. The present invention is not dependent on the particular constructor of memory element 30. Next, as shown in Fig. 6, an insulating film (protective film) made of, for example, an aluminum oxide film having a film thickness of 10 to 20 nm is integrally formed by, for example, a CVD method. The insulating film 40 composed of the oxide film has a function as a polishing stopper layer when the insulating film 42 made of a silicon nitride film is polished in the step described later, 22 200901442. Further, the insulating film 40 made of an aluminum oxide film has a function of preventing hydrogen, moisture, or the like from reaching the memory element 30 as a barrier film. Next, an insulating film 42 made of, for example, a ruthenium nitride film having a film thickness of 2?1111 is formed entirely by, for example, a CVD method. 5 Next, the surface of the insulating film 42 made of a ruthenium nitride film is polished by, for example, a CMP method to the surface of the insulating film 4 made of a oxidized film. The abrasive is used, for example, as an abrasive containing abrasive particles composed of a planer (oxidized planer). When the insulating film 42 made of a tantalum nitride film is polished, the insulating film 4A made of an aluminum oxide film functions as a polishing stopper layer. As a result, the memory element 3 is in a state of being embedded by the insulating film 42 made of the Shihua 10 nitride film. In other words, a state in which the insulating film 42 made of a tantalum nitride film is filled between the plurality of memory elements 30 is formed. On the element 30, the insulating film 4 made of an aluminum oxide film is exposed. The height of the upper surface of the insulating film 4 made of an aluminum oxide film existing on the memory element 3 is equal to the height of the upper surface of the insulating film 42 made of the tantalum nitride film (see Fig. 7). Next, the photoresist film 50 is entirely formed by spin coating. Next, the opening portion 52 for forming the via hole 48 is formed by the photolithography technique on the photo-reactive film 5'. Next, 'the photoresist film 5 is used as a mask, and the insulating film 40 composed of the aluminum oxide film 20 is used as an etching stopper film, and is formed by an insulating film 42 made of a tantalum nitride film by, for example, plasma etching. Hole 48 (refer to Figure 7). For example, CF4 gas and helium 2 gas are used as the etching gas. Thereafter, the photoresist film 5 is peeled off. Next, as shown in Fig. 9, an insulating film 44 made of, for example, a ruthenium oxide film having a film thickness of 100 rnn is formed, for example, by a CVD method. Further, as the material β of the insulating film 44, a carbon oxide film (SiOC film) or the like can be used. Next, the photoresist film 54 is entirely formed by a spin coating method. Next, the opening portion 56 for forming the groove 46 and the opening portion 58 for forming the via hole 48 are formed on the photoresist film 54 by photolithography. 5 Next, the photoresist film 54 is used as a mask, and the insulating film 42 made of a tantalum nitride film is used as an etching stopper film, and the trench 46 is formed in the insulating film 44 made of a tantalum oxide film by, for example, plasma etching. (Refer to Figure 1). The length direction of the groove is the vertical direction of the paper of Fig. 10. For example, CF4 gas, CHF3 gas, and helium 2 gas are used as the engraving gas. As shown in Fig. 1, when the pattern of the opening portion 56 for forming the groove 10 46 is displaced in the left-right direction of the paper surface, there is an insulating film 40 which is present not only on the memory element 30 but also covers the memory element 3〇. A part of the side insulating film 40, even a portion of the insulating film 42 formed to be embedded in the memory element 3, is removed. However, the etching rate of the insulating film 4A made of an aluminum oxide film is, for example, about one third of the etching rate of the insulating film 44 made of a tantalum oxide film. Further, the etching rate of the insulating film 42 composed of the tantalum nitride film is, for example, about one-fifth of the speed of the insulating film 44 composed of the tantalum oxide film. Therefore, the insulating film 4A made of an aluminum oxide film and the insulating film 42 made of a tantalum nitride film are not excessively etched in portions other than the memory element 3''. As a result, according to the present embodiment, when the groove 46 for embedding the wiring 32a is formed on the insulating film 44'40, the groove 46 can be surely prevented from reaching the lower electrode 34 and the wiring 28a. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to reliably prevent the wiring 32a on the upper layer side from being short-circuited with the lower electrode 34 and the wiring 28a on the lower layer side. Next, for example, a Ti 24 200901442 film having a film thickness of 20 nm and a film having a film thickness of 5 〇 11111 are sequentially formed by, for example, a ruthenium plating method. Next, for example, a w film is formed by, for example, a CVD method. The film thickness of the W film is set to be more than half of the width of the groove 46. Further, an example in which W is used as the material of the wiring 32a and the conductor receptacle 32b has been described, and (10) may be used as the material of the wiring 32a and the conductor socket milk. In the case of using a material as the wiring 32a and the conductor receptacle 32b, a Ta (group) film is formed by, for example, a Wei method. Next, a CU film is formed using, for example, a _^ electric ore method. In this way, it is also possible to use a material called a wiring raft and a conductor socket 32b. Next, the conductive film 10 made of W, Cu or the like is polished by, for example, a CMP method to expose the surface of the insulating film 44. Thereby, the wiring 32a can be embedded in the groove 46. Further, the conductor socket 32b is fitted into the guide hole 48. As described above, according to the present embodiment, with respect to the insulating film 44 forming the trench 46 for embedding the wiring 32a, the insulating film 42 having a very slow etching speed can be formed to be embedded in the memory element 3, and thus When the groove 46 for embedding the wiring 15 32a is formed in the insulating film 44, the groove 46 can be surely prevented from reaching the wiring 34a of the lower electrode 34 and the lower layer side of the memory element 30. Therefore, according to the actual situation, it can be reliably prevented. The wiring 32a on the upper layer side is short-circuited with the lower electrode 34 of the memory element 3A and the wiring 28a of the lower layer side, and the wiring 32a of the upper layer side can be connected to the upper electrode 38 of the memory element 3A. [2nd Embodiment] A semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 12 to 17 . Fig. 12 is a cross-sectional view showing the semiconductor device constructed in accordance with the present embodiment. The components that are the same as those of the semiconductor device according to the first embodiment shown in the first to eleventh embodiments, and the method of manufacturing the same, will be denoted by the same reference numerals and will not be described or simplified. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the semiconductor device and the method for fabricating the same are provided in the field of separation from the memory cell region by polishing to remove the insulating film 42a formed of the Shihic nitride film in the field of memory cells. The field* forms a guide hole 4 which reaches the wiring 28a, and the residual (10) is mainly characterized by the magnetic film forming the insulating film 42a. (Semiconductor device) The first half of the conductor device constructed in accordance with the present embodiment will be described using Fig. 12 . As shown in Fig. 12, in the semiconductor substrate region 2, an insulating film 42a made of, for example, a stone nitride film is formed on the semiconductor substrate 10 on which the insulating film 40 made of the oxide film is formed to be embedded in the memory. Element 3〇. In other words, in the memory cell region 2, an insulating film 42& which is composed of a stone nitride film is filled between the plurality of I5 memory cells 30 which are formed on the side surface by an insulating film 4? The surface height of the insulating film 423 composed of the tantalum nitride film becomes lower as it leaves the memory cell region 2. In the field 4 separated from the memory cell region, there is no insulating film 42a composed of a stone nitride film. In other words, in the region other than the memory cell region 2, the insulating film 42a made of a tantalum nitride film is formed with a dish-shaped recess 6?. Since the dishing 6 〇 is formed to be very deep, in the field 4 separated from the memory cell region, the insulating film 42a composed of the ruthenium nitride film does not exist. On the semiconductor substrate 10 on which the insulating film 42a made of a tantalum nitride film or the like is formed, an insulating film made of a ruthenium oxide film is formed. The insulating film 40 made of an oxide film and the insulating film 44 made of a tantalum oxide film are formed with grooves 46 for embedding the wiring 32a. In the field 4 separated from the memory cell region, the via holes 48 reaching the wiring 28b are formed on the insulating films 44, 40. In the memory cell region 2, a 5 wiring 32a made of, for example, Cu, W, or the like is buried in the trench 46. In the field 4 separated from the memory cell region and in the via hole 48, a conductor socket 32b made of, for example, Cu, W or the like is buried. In this way, the semiconductor device constructed in the present embodiment is constructed. As described above, according to the present embodiment, the insulating film 42a composed of the tantalum nitride film is removed in the 10 field 4 which is separated from the memory cell region, and thus the field 4 which is separated from the memory cell domain as will be described later. When the via hole 48 reaching the wiring 28b is formed, it is not necessary to etch the insulating film 42a made of a tantalum nitride film. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the step of etching the insulating film 42a made of the tantalum nitride film (refer to Fig. 8) can be eliminated, and the cost reduction of the semiconductor device can be improved. (Manufacturing Method of Semiconductor Device) A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device constructed in accordance with the present embodiment will be described below using Figs. 13 to 17 . Fig. 13 through Fig. 17 are sectional views showing the steps of a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device constructed in accordance with the present embodiment. 20 First, from the step of forming the element isolation region 12 of the semiconductor substrate 10 to the step of forming the insulating film 40 made of an aluminum oxide film covering the memory element 30 and the first embodiment shown in the third to sixth figures Since the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device is the same, the description is omitted (see FIG. 13). 8. For example, the CVD method integrally forms, for example, a film thickness of 2 〇〇 nm. 27 200901442 An insulating film 42a composed of a stone nitride film. Next, an insulating film 42a made of a tantalum nitride film is polished by, for example, a C Μ P method and an insulating film 4 made of an aluminum oxide film as a polishing stopper. At this time, in the field 4 separated from the memory cell region, a very deep dish-shaped recess 60 is formed in the insulating film 5a composed of the tantalum nitride film to expose the upper surface of the wiring 28b (refer to Fig. 14). As the abrasive, an abrasive containing, for example, abrasive grains composed of cerium oxide (cerium oxide) is used. When the abrasive is used, the dishing 6 〇 can be formed on the insulating film 42a made of a tantalum nitride film as compared with the case of using the abrasive grains including the planer. Since the dish-shaped recess 6 is formed to be extremely deep, the field 4 separated from the memory cell region is in a state in which the insulating film 42a composed of the tantalum nitride film is not present. Further, even if the polishing pressure is set to be very high, the dishing 6 形成 can be formed to be very deep. Next, as shown in Fig. 15, an insulating film 44 composed of a tantalum oxide film having a film thickness of 100 nm is integrally formed by, for example, a plasma CVD method. Further, as the material of the insulating film 44, a tantalum oxide film (SiOC film) containing carbon may be used. Next, the photoresist film 54 is entirely formed by spin coating. Next, an opening portion 58 for forming the groove 46 and an opening portion 58 for forming the via hole 48 are formed on the photoresist film 54 by photolithography. 20 纟 ' 以 光 以 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖 赖46 (refer to Figure 16). Further, via holes are formed in the insulating films 44 and 4 to reach the wiring. For example, CF4 gas, CHf3 gas, and helium 2 gas are used as the residual gas. In the field separated from the memory cell field 4 28 200901442 There is no insulating film 42a made of a tantalum nitride film, so there is no need to etch the insulating film 42a made of a silicon nitride film (refer to Fig. 8). A via hole 48 reaching the wiring 28b is formed. According to this embodiment, the step of etching the insulating film made of the tantalum nitride film can be saved (see Fig. 8), so that the manufacturing cost of the semiconductor crack can be reduced. Next, for example, a Ti film having a film thickness of 20 nm and a TiN film having a film thickness of 50 nm are sequentially formed by, for example, a ruthenium plating method. Next, for example, a w film is formed by, for example, a CVD method. The film thickness of the W film is set to be more than half of the width of the groove 46. Further, an example in which W is used as the material of the wiring 32a and the conductor socket 32b has been described above, but Cu may be used as the material of the wiring 32a and the conductor socket 32b. When Cu is used as the material of the wiring 32a and the conductor receptacle 32b, a Ta (钽) film is formed by, for example, a bismuth ore method. Next, a Cu film is formed by, for example, a sputtering method and an electroplating method. In this way, cu can also be used as the material of the wiring 32a and the conductor socket 32b. The contactor grinds the conductive film made of W or C^u or the like to the surface of the exposed insulating film 44 by the CMP method. Thereby, the wiring 32a can be embedded in the groove 46. Further, the conductor socket 32b can be embedded in the guide hole 48. As a result, a semiconductor device constructed in accordance with the present embodiment can be manufactured (see Fig. 17). 2. As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the field 4 separated from the memory cell region, it is not necessary to remove the insulating film 4 2 a formed of the tantalum nitride film by polishing, so that it is not necessary to (4) cut nitride. The step (> ', and FIG. 8) of the insulating film 4 2 a forms a via hole correction for reaching the wiring (4). According to the present embodiment, the step of saving the insulating film composed of the film of money ( Referring to FIG. 29 200901442 (Fig. 8), the manufacturing cost of the semiconductor device can be reduced. [Third embodiment] A semiconductor device constructed in accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 18 to 26 Fig. 18 is a cross-sectional view showing a semiconductor device constructed in accordance with the fifth embodiment, and a semiconductor device according to the first or second embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 17 and The same components as those in the manufacturing method are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof or the simplification thereof will be omitted. According to the semiconductor device and the method of manufacturing the same according to the embodiment, the insulating film 62 made of a tantalum oxide film is formed and embedded. Memory element 30, due to 矽An insulating film 64 made of a silicon nitride film is formed on the insulating film 62 made of an oxide film, and an insulating film 64 made of a stone oxide film is formed on the memory film 64, and an insulating film made of a stone oxide film is formed on the insulating film 64 made of a silicon nitride film. An insulating film 64 made of a stone-like nitride film is used as a surname blocking layer, and an insulating film 4 composed of a ruthenium oxide film is formed by forming an insulating film 62 made of a ruthenium oxide film to form a trench, and is further removed by etching. The main feature of the trench exposed to the upper electrode 38 of the memory element 3 is exposed in the silicon nitride film in the trench 46. (Semiconductor device) According to the embodiment, the first half of the configuration is described using FIG. According to Fig. 18, an insulating film made of an oxidized film for covering the memory element 30 is formed on the semiconductor substrate 10 on which the memory element 30 is formed, and is formed of an oxidized film. The insulating film semiconductor substrate 1〇30 200901442 is used to embed the memory element 30 to form an insulating film 62 made of, for example, a stone oxide film. In other words, the insulating film 4 made of an aluminum oxide film is formed on the side surface. Memory element 30 An insulating film 62 made of a tantalum oxide film is filled between the upper portion of the insulating film 62 made of a tantalum oxide film, and the insulating film 40 made of an oxide film is used as the polishing stopper layer for polishing. There is no insulating film 62 composed of a tantalum oxide film on the memory element 30. The height of the upper surface of the insulating film 4 formed of an aluminum oxide film on the memory element 30 is on the upper surface of the insulating film 62 composed of a smectite film. When the insulating film 64 made of a tantalum nitride film is etched, the insulating film 62 composed of a tantalum oxide film has a function of 10 as an etching stopper layer. The insulating film 40 made of an aluminum oxide film is oxidized by germanium. An insulating film 64 made of, for example, a stone nitride film is formed on the insulating film 62 made of a film. The insulating film 64 composed of the ruthenium nitride film has a function as a resist layer when etching the insulating film 44 composed of a tantalum oxide film. The insulating film 40 made of an aluminum oxide film, the insulating film 64 made of a tantalum nitride film, and the insulating film 44 made of a tantalum oxide film form a trench 46 for embedding the wiring 32a. As shown in Fig. 18, in the case where the pattern for forming the groove 46 is displaced in the left-right direction of the paper surface, it is known that the insulating film 40 not only exists on the memory element 30 but also covers the insulating film on the side of the memory element 3 A portion 20 of the crucible, even a portion of the insulating film 62 formed to embed the memory element 30, is also etched away. However, the etching rate of the insulating film 62 composed of the tantalum oxide film with respect to the "inscription speed of the insulating film 40 composed of the oxide film" is not significantly faster. Therefore, when the insulating film 40 composed of the oxide film in the trench 46 is etched, the insulating film 62 composed of the iridium oxide film is not etched by the excess 31 200901442. According to this embodiment, when the groove 46 for inserting the wiring 32a is formed, the groove 46 can be surely prevented from reaching the lower electrode 34 and the wiring 28a, and the wiring 32a and the lower electrode 34 and the wiring 28a of the lower layer side can be reliably prevented from being short-circuited. . In the field 4 separated from the memory cell region, the via holes 48 5 reaching the wiring 28b are formed on the insulating films 44, 64, 62, 40. In the groove 46 in which the memory cell region 2 is formed, a wiring 32a composed of, for example, cu, w, or the like is embedded. The plurality of wires 32a are parallel to each other. The length of the wiring 32a is the vertical direction of the paper. In other words, the longitudinal direction of the wiring 32a on the upper layer side and the longitudinal direction of the wiring 28a on the lower layer side are orthogonal to each other (see Fig. 2). Further, in the field 4 separated from the memory cell region, a conductor socket 32b made of, for example, Cu, W or the like is embedded in the via hole 48. Further, a wiring (not shown) and a memory element (not shown) similar to the above-described memory element 3 are formed in the upper portion of the wiring 32a. Further, the conductor receptacle 32b is electrically connected to the wiring provided in the upper layer portion (not shown) through a conductor socket or the like which is not shown in the figure. In this way, the semiconductor device constructed in the present embodiment is constructed. As described above, according to the present embodiment, the insulating film 62 composed of the tantalum oxide film is formed to be embedded in the memory element 30, formed on the insulating film 2 formed of the tantalum oxide film, and formed on the A memory element 30 by the second gas. An insulating film 64 made of a film, an insulating film 44 made of a tantalum oxide film, and an insulating film 64 made of a tantalum nitride film as an etching stopper layer are formed on the insulating film 64 made of a tantalum nitride film. The insulating film 44 made of a tantalum oxide film forms a groove in the insulating film 62 made of a tantalum oxide film, and further removes the film of the upper surface of the exposed memory element 30 by etching the film of the germanium nitride 32 which is exposed in the trench 46. 38 groove 46. When the insulating film 64 made of a tantalum nitride film having the trench 46 is removed by etching, the insulating film 62 composed of the tantalum oxide film has a function as an etching stopper layer, so that the groove 46 does not reach the lower electrode 34 of the memory element 30. Wiring 5 28a with the lower layer side. As described above, according to this embodiment, the wiring 32a on the upper layer side can be prevented from being short-circuited with the wiring 34a on the lower surface of the memory element 30 and the wiring 28a on the lower layer side, and the wiring 32a on the upper layer side can be connected to the upper electrode 38 of the memory element 30. (Manufacturing Method of Semiconductor Device) Next, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device constructed in accordance with the present embodiment will be described using Figs. 19 to 26 . Fig. 19 through Fig. 26 are sectional views showing the steps of a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device constructed in accordance with the present embodiment. First, from the step of forming the element isolation region 12 of the semiconductor substrate 10 to the step of forming the insulating film 40 made of an aluminum oxide film to cover the memory element 30, the first or second step shown in Figs. 1 to Π Since the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device configured as described above is the same, the description is omitted (see FIG. 19). Next, for example, an insulating film 62 made of a tantalum oxide film having a film thickness of 200 nm is integrally formed by, for example, a plasma CVD method. Next, the insulating film 62 made of a tantalum oxide film is polished by, for example, a C Μ P method to chrome out the surface of the insulating film 40 made of an oxide film. An abrasive containing, for example, abrasive grains composed of cerium (yttria) is used as the abrasive. When the insulating film 62 composed of a ruthenium film is polished, the insulating film 40 composed of an aluminum oxide film has a function as a polishing stopper. As a result, the memory element 3 is formed in an embedded state by the insulating film 62 made of a tantalum oxide film. In other words, a state in which the insulating film 62 made of a tantalum oxide film is filled between the plurality of memory elements 30 is formed. On the other hand, the memory element 30 is in a state in which the insulating film 40 made of an aluminum oxide film is exposed. The height of the upper surface of the insulating film 40 made of alumina crucible on the memory element 3 is equal to the height of the upper surface of the insulating film 62 made of the tantalum oxide film (see Fig. 20). Next, for example, an insulating film 64 made of, for example, a film thickness of 2 〇 nm; Next, the photoresist film 5 is formed entirely by spin coating. The opening portion 58 for forming the via hole 48 is formed in the photoresist film 50 by photolithography. Next, the photoresist film 50 is used as a mask and the insulating film 62 composed of a tantalum oxide film is used as an etching stopper film, and a via hole is formed on the insulating film 64 composed of a tantalum nitride film by, for example, plasma etching ( Refer to Figure 21). For example, CF4 gas and ο? gas are used as the etching gas. Thereafter, the photoresist film is peeled off. Then, as shown in Fig. 22, an insulating film 44 made of, for example, a tantalum oxide film having a film thickness of 100 nm is integrally formed by, for example, a CVD method. Further, as the material of the insulating film 44, a tantalum oxide film (SiOC film) containing carbon or the like can be used. Next, the photoresist film 54 is entirely formed by spin coating. Next, an opening portion 56 for forming the groove 46 and an opening portion 58 for forming the via hole 48 are formed on the photoresist film 54 by photolithography. Next, the photoresist film 54 is used as a mask, and the insulating film 40 made of an aluminum oxide film and the insulating film 42 made of a tantalum nitride film are used as an etching stopper film, and are formed of a tantalum oxide film by, for example, plasma etching. The insulating film 62 made of the insulating film 44 and the tantalum oxide film forms the groove 46 (see FIG. 23). Further, a via hole 48 which reaches the insulating film 4 of the oxidized film of 34 200901442 is formed. For example, CF4 gas, C3 gas, and ο: gas are used as the money engraving gas. In the case where the gas is electrically engraved using the gas of the surname, the insufficiency of the insulating film composed of the oxide film is, for example, 5/3 of the speed of the insulating film 62 composed of the stone oxide film. . Further, the (four) speed of the insulating film 64 composed of the wafer film is, for example, fifteen minutes to the speed of the insulating film 44 composed of the stone oxide film. Therefore, the insulating film 4A composed of the aluminum oxide film and the insulating film 64 composed of the tantalum nitride film are not excessively etched. Next, the photoresist film 54 is used as a mask, and an insulating film 40 composed of an aluminum oxide film 10 and an insulating film 62 composed of a tantalum oxide film are used as an etching stopper layer, and are etched by tantalum nitride by, for example, plasma etching. An insulating film 64 made of a film. Thereby, the tantalum nitride film 64 exposed in the trench 46 can be removed by etching (see the first drawing). CF4 gas and helium 2 gas were used as the etching gas. In the case where plasma etching is performed using the etching gas, the etching rate of the insulating film 40 composed of an aluminum oxide film and the insulating film composed of the tantalum oxide film are formed with respect to the etching rate of the insulating film made of tantalum tantalum nitride. The etching speed of the film 62 is very slow. Therefore, the insulating film 40 composed of the aluminum oxide film and the insulating film 64 composed of the tantalum nitride film are not excessively etched. Next, the photoresist film 54 is used as a mask, and the insulating film 40 made of an aluminum oxide film is etched by, for example, plasma etching. As shown in Fig. 25, in the case where the pattern of the opening portion 56 for forming the groove 46 is shifted in the left-right direction of the paper surface, the insulating film 40 not only existing on the memory element 30 but also the side of the memory element 30 can be known. A portion of the insulating film 4'' or even a part of the insulating film 62 formed to be embedded in the memory element 30 is also inscribed. However, the insulating film 40 composed of the aluminum foil film of 35 200901442 has a thin film thickness, and the etching time can be set to be short, so that the insulating film 4 覆盖 covering the side of the memory element 3 〇 and the memory element 30 are embedded. The formed insulating film 62 is not excessively etched. As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the groove 46 for embedding the wiring 32a is formed, it is possible to surely prevent the groove 46 from reaching the lower electrode 34 and the wiring 28a on the lower layer side. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to reliably prevent the wiring 32a of the upper layer from being short-circuited with the lower electrode 34 and the wiring 28a of the lower layer side. Thereafter, the photoresist film 54 is punctured. Next, for example, a Ti film having a film thickness of 20 nm and a TiN film having a film thickness of 50 nm are sequentially formed by sputtering, for example. Next, for example, a W 10 film is formed by, for example, a CVD method. The film thickness of the W film is set to be more than half of the width of the groove 46. Further, an example in which W is used as the material of the wiring 32a and the conductor socket 32b has been described above, but Cu may be used as the material of the wiring 32a and the conductor socket 32b. When Cu is used as the material of the wiring 32a and the conductor receptacle 32b, a Ta (钽) film is formed by sputtering, for example. Next, a Cu film is formed using, for example, a sputtering method and a 15 plating method. In this way, Cu can also be used as the material of the wiring 32a and the conductor socket 32b. Next, the conductive film is polished by the CMP method to expose the surface of the insulating film 44. Thereby, the wiring 32a can be embedded in the groove 46 (refer to Fig. 26). Further, the conductor socket 32b can be embedded in the guide hole 48. 20 Thus, the semiconductor device constructed in the present embodiment is constructed. As described above, according to the present embodiment, the insulating film 62 composed of the tantalum oxide film is formed to be embedded in the memory element 30, and the tantalum nitride is formed on the insulating film 62 composed of the tantalum oxide film and the memory element 3? An insulating film 64 made of a film, an insulating film 44 made of a tantalum oxide film 36 200901442, and an insulating film 64 made of a tantalum nitride film as an etching stopper layer are etched on the insulating film 64 made of a tantalum nitride film. The insulating film 44 made of a tantalum oxide film forms a groove in the insulating film 46 made of a tantalum oxide film, and further removes the insulating film 64 made of a stone nitride film exposed in the trench 46 to form an exposed memory. A groove 46 of the upper electrode 5 of the element 30. When the insulating film 64 made of a tantalum nitride film having the trench 46 is removed by etching, the insulating film 62 composed of the tantalum oxide film has a function as an etching stopper layer, so that the trench 46 does not reach the lower electrode of the memory element 3 34 and the wiring 28a on the lower layer side. According to this embodiment, it is possible to prevent the wiring 32a on the upper layer side from being short-circuited with the lower electrode 34 of the memory element 30 and the wiring 10a on the lower layer side, and the wiring 32a on the upper layer side can be connected to the upper portion of the memory element 3 Electrode 38. [Modification embodiment] The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be various morphological changes. For example, the above-described embodiment has been described using an example in which a stone etching film is used as the material of the insulating film, and a stone oxide film is used as the material of the insulating film 44. However, the material and insulating film of the insulating film 42 are called The materials are not limited to these films. It is possible to appropriately use materials having different characteristics of the surname as the materials of the insulating crucible 42 and the insulating film 44. 2 〇 film. It can be used as a material for insulating and cutting materials which can be used as a function of the anti-blocking layer when the insulation is squashed. That is, it is possible to use the insulating lining w_# material 37 200901442, and the above-described embodiment using the yttrium oxide material as the insulating film 4 as the insulating material 64, and the insulating (four) material and The insulating film 44 is described as an example, but it is. It is possible to appropriately (b) the characteristics of each other without being limited to the materials of the films 5 and 44. The material is used as the insulating film 64. In the above embodiment, an example of using a material of the stone oxide film ::=_ is ??? It is the village material of these films H) and 62 which are different from each other by the silking characteristics.材 材 材 作为 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 64 However, since the lower H-side upper electrode 38 of the phylum is formed as a polishing stopper layer, when the insulating film 42 is polished, the upper portion (4) of the memory element 3G is significantly removed by polishing. Further, the insulating film 4 made of an aluminum oxide film has a function as a barrier film to prevent diffusion of hydrogen and moisture. When the insulating film 40 having a function as a barrier film is not formed, the oxide of the resistive memory layer 36 constituting the memory element 30 is reduced by hydrogen or the like to deteriorate the electrical characteristics. Therefore, it is preferable to form the insulating film 40 from the viewpoint of providing a semiconductor device 20 having high reliability. Industrial Applicability The semiconductor device and the method of manufacturing the same according to the present invention are useful for a semiconductor device having a memory element and a method of manufacturing the same.
