A method for forming a metal film including forming a metal barrier layer on a surface of a substrate, on a bottom surface of a recess and on sidewalls of the recess, forming a first metal film on the substrate but not in the recess, treating the first metal film with nitrogen plasma to form an insulation film including nitrogen, forming a second metal film on a portion of the metal barrier layer in the recess, and forming a third metal film on the substrate, the recess and the insulation film.
