A semiconductor device comprises a wiring layer. The wiring layer is provided by forming a sidewall film having a closed-loop along a sidewall of a hard mask, etching off the hard mask to leave the sidewall film, and then etching a target material to be etched with a mask of the sidewall film. The wiring layer includes a folded wiring section formed along an end of the hard mask, and a parallel section composed of two parallel wires continued from the folded wiring section. The wiring layer has a closed-loop cut made in a portion except for the folded wiring section and the parallel section. The folded wiring section and the parallel section are used as a contact region for connection to another wire.
