The first wiring layers are substantially composed of copper, and are arranged in parallel at a large pitch. The second wiring layers are substantially composed of copper, and are arranged in parallel at a small pitch. A first metal capping layer is formed on each of the first wiring layers, and a second metal capping layer is formed on each of the second wiring layers. The second metal capping layer has a smaller thickness than that of the first metal capping layer.

In the plating solution in the plating bath, a wafer and an anode electrode are opposed to each other, between which is interposed a disk-shaped auxiliary electrode having a diameter smaller than that of the wafer. This auxiliary electrode has a plurality of holes formed therein. Through these holes, the plating solution is uniformly supplied to between the wafer and the anode electrode. The auxiliary electrode is supplied with the same positive potential as that of the anode electrode. This forms electric lines of force directed from the auxiliary electrode and the anode electrode to the wafer. The closer provision of the anode electrode (the auxiliary electrode) compensates a drop in current density on the wafer resulting from the potential drop at the portion far from cathode terminals.

The flexibility of a wiring design is improved by preventing any erosion from happening upon forming a buried wiring. An interlayer insulating film is formed on a silicon substrate, and then trenches are formed in the interlayer insulating film. Thereafter, the barrier layer is deposited on side surfaces and a bottom surface in the trenches and on an entire area on the interlayer insulating film, and a copper seed layer is formed over an entire area on the barrier layer. Fountain plating is performed using the copper seed layer as an electrode to deposit the copper plated layer on the trenches and on a peripheral area of the same the copper plated layer buries the trenches and has a protruded configuration. Thereafter, the surface of the copper plated layer is polished with a CMP method until the interlayer insulating film is exposed to form a buried wiring.

A method of manufacturing ULSI wiring in which wiring layers are separately formed via a diffusion prevention layer and an insulating interlayer portion made of SiO2. The method comprises the steps of treating, with a silane compound, a SiO2 surface of the insulating interlayer portion on which the diffusion layer is to be formed, performing catalyzation with an aqueous solution containing a palladium compound, forming the diffusion prevention layer by electroless plating, and then forming the wiring layer on this diffusion prevention layer. A capping layer may be formed on the wiring layer by electroless plating. Consequently, a diffusion prevention layer having good adhesive properties can be formed through a simple wet process, and, the wiring layer can directly be formed on this diffusion prevention layer by a wet process. The capping layer can also be directly formed on the wiring layer by electroless plating.
