To manufacture a semiconductor device with copper plugs and/or wirings, the following steps are performed. (a) A copper alloy film (16, 17) containing at least two metallic elements in addition to copper is formed on the surface of an insulator (15) containing oxygen and formed on a semiconductor substrate (1). (b) A metal film (18) made of pure copper or copper alloy is formed on the copper alloy film (16, 17). (c) After step (a) or (b), heat treatment is performed under the condition that a metal oxide film is formed on a surface of the insulator through reaction between the oxygen in the insulator (15) and the metallic elements in the copper alloy film (16, 17).

As a barrier metal film, a Ti film or a Ta film is formed by sputtering method on a substrate. On top of this barrier metal film there is formed a nitride film by sputtering method. A Cu film is then formed on the nitride film by CVD method and thereafter anneal processing is performed at 100 to 400°C. In this manner, by forming the Cu film, the adhesiveness between the barrier metal film and the Cu film improves.

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe removing seams and voids in metal interconnects and associated techniques and configurations. In one embodiment, a method includes conformally depositing a metal into a recess disposed in a dielectric material to form an interconnect, wherein conformally depositing the metal creates a seam or void in the deposited metal within or directly adjacent to the recess and heating the metal in the presence of a reactive gas to remove the seam or void, wherein the metal has a melting point that is greater than a melting point of copper. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Characteristics of a semiconductor device are improved. A semiconductor device includes a coil CL1 and a wiring M2 formed on an interlayer insulator IL2, a wiring M3 formed on an interlayer insulator IL3, and a coil CL2 and a wiring M4 formed on the interlayer insulator IL4. Moreover, a distance DM4 between the coil CL2 and the wiring M4 is longer than a distance DM3 between the coil CL2 and the wiring M3 (DM4 > DM3). Furthermore, the distance DM3 between the coil CL2 and the wiring M3 is set to be longer than a sum of a film thickness of the interlayer insulator IL3 and a film thickness of the interlayer insulator IL4, which are positioned between the coil CL1 and the coil; CL2. In this manner, it is possible to improve an insulation withstand voltage between the coil CL2 and the wiring M4 or the like, where a high voltage difference tend to occur. Moreover, a transformer formation region 1A and a seal ring formation region 1C surrounding a peripheral circuit formation region 1B are formed so as to improve the moisture resistance.

An interconnect structure includes a substrate, a dielectric layer (220) on the substrate, a metal interconnect layer (230) in the dielectric layer and in contact with the substrate, the metal interconnect layer having an upper surface flush with an upper surface of the dielectric layer, and a graphene layer (260) on the metal interconnect layer. The graphene layer insulates a metal from air and prevents the metal from being oxidized by oxygen in the air, thereby increasing the queue time for the CMP process and the device reliability.
