Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit device includes a substrate; a transistor on the substrate; an interlayer insulating film on the transistor; an insulating liner on the interlayer insulating film; a first insulating film on the insulating liner; and a first wiring layer on the interlayer insulating film and surrounded by the insulating liner. A height of a top surface of the first insulating film in a vertical direction from a main surface of the interlayer insulating film is different than a height of a top surface of the first wiring layer in the vertical direction. A step exists between the top surfaces of the first wiring layer and the first insulating film. A height of the first insulating film is greater than a height of the first wiring layer. A width of the first wiring layer gradually narrows as the first wiring layer extends upwards along the vertical direction.
