Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 123 words
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising: a first step of forming a first insulation layer on a substrate; a second step of forming a first wiring layer on the first insulation layer; a third step of forming a second insulation layer on the first wiring layer; a fourth step of forming a contact hole in the second insulation layer and a groove in the first insulation layer extending from said contact hole to the substrate; a fifth step of forming a third insulation layer on the entire surface of the substrate with a portion thereof filling the groove; and a sixth step of selectively etching the third insulation layer to leave the portion of the third insulation layer in the groove.
