Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: a first insulating film forming step of forming a first insulating film in a transistor having a structure in which a source and a drain raised in a fin shape are covered with a gate; a sacrifice film forming step of forming a sacrifice film; a hard mask pattern forming step of forming a hard mask film having a desired pattern; a first opening forming step of forming a first opening; a second insulating film forming step of forming a second insulating film made of a material different from the first insulating film, in the first opening; a second opening forming step of forming a second opening by removing the sacrifice film, after the second insulating film forming step; and a contact plug forming step of forming a contact plug in the second opening.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the hard mask pattern forming step includes:\n a step of forming the hard mask film with a line-and-space pattern on the sacrifice film; and a step of forming the desired pattern by cutting out a part of a line pattern of the line-and-space pattern.
