To provide a semiconductor device having a multilayer wiring structure simplifying a manufacturing process.
The semiconductor device includes a first wiring layer, a first interlayer insulating film over the first wiring layer, a second wiring layer crossing the first wiring layer and provided on the first interlayer insulating film, a second interlayer insulating film over the second wiring layer, and a via conductor electrically connecting the first wiring layer and the second wiring layer together. The second wiring layer includes a space separating the second wiring layer into pieces, the space being located at a position where the second wiring layer crosses the first wiring layer. The via conductor passes through the separation space such that the separated pieces of the second wiring layer are electrically connected together, the via conductor extending to the first wiring layer through the second interlayer insulating film and the first interlayer insulating film.
