Abstract: A semiconductor device restricting the antenna effect without complicating the manufacturing process and a manufacturing method of such a semiconductor device are provided. In addition, a semiconductor device ensuring matching or equality in characteristics of pairing transistors and a manufacturing method of such a semiconductor device are provided. The semiconductor device includes an interconnection that is placed on an insulating film covering a gate electrode and a semiconductor substrate and is electrically connected to the gate electrode. The semiconductor device also includes a dummy transistor that is formed on the semiconductor substrate and is unprovided with an interconnection required for a transistor. The interconnection is electrically connected to a source/drain region of the dummy transistor.

Abstract: A lower metal layer is provided on a lower interlayer insulating film in an MIM capacitance element forming region. The lower metal layer is formed by the same step as that in which the lower interconnection layer is formed. A dielectric layer and an upper metal layer patterned using the same mask are provided on the lower metal layer. The upper metal layer is formed to have a thickness that is thinner than the thickness of the lower metal layer. Thus, it becomes possible to achieve high reliability (lifetime) of the MIM capacitance element by improving the structure of the MIM capacitance element as well as the manufacturing steps.

Abstract: In an MIM capacitor element, a leak guard that covers an upper layer electrode layer is provided between upper layer electrode layer and a reflection prevention film and, therefore, a region is not formed wherein upper layer electrode layer and reflection prevention film make a direct contact with each other. As a result, it becomes possible to completely prevent the generation of a leak current between upper layer electrode layer and reflection prevention film. Thus, an improvement in the structure of the MIM capacitor element and an improvement in a manufacturing process for the same can be achieved, thereby it becomes possible to provide a semiconductor device wherein the reliability of the MIM capacitor element can be enhanced.
