To provide a method for fabricating a semiconductor device which can provide reliable electrical conduction between an upper line and a diffusion layer.
A field shield layer (FG) is formed on a semiconductor substrate 21 (step 1). After the step 1, a gate line(GL) is formed on the semiconductor substrate 21 and field shield layer (FG) (step 2). Next, a nitride film is formed so as to cover a surface of the gate line(GL) (step 3). A polycrystalline silicon film 215 is deposited on the entire surface of the semiconductor substrate 21 and then subjected to an etch-back process (step 4). After the step 4, an oxide film 216 is formed on the substrate 21 (step 5). A capacitor (CC) is formed and the oxide film 216 and 222 are etched to make a contact hole therein (step 6).
