Official abstract text for this publication.
An electrode layer is formed on a gate insulating film. An interlayer insulating film is formed on the gate insulating firm. A lower pad is formed by a damascene method. Next, a through hole is formed, and a first interlayer insulating film, which is provided with a projected portion that is in the same pattern as a lower insulating film, is exposed within the through hole at the same time. After etching the first interlayer insulating film so that a part of the projected portion remains as an etching residue, a via insulating film is formed and the via insulating film at the bottom of the through hole is etched. After that, a through electrode is formed by plating an electrode material on the inner side of the via insulating film on the through hole.
