摘要:
The object of the invention is to provide such a highly reliable semiconductor device as no defect such as the breakage of a tungsten conductor occurs. This object is achieved by the following means, i.e., a molybdenum film, a tungsten film and another molybdenum film are deposited in this order on an interlayer dielectric film formed on a silicon substrate.

Manufacturing processes for phase change memory have suffered from the problem of chalcogenide material being susceptible to delamination, since this material exhibits low adhesion to high melting point metals and silicon oxide films. Furthermore, chalcogenide material has low thermal stability and hence tends to sublime during the manufacturing process of phase change memory. According to the present invention, conductive or insulative adhesive layers are formed over and under the chalcogenide material layer to enhance its delamination strength. Further, a protective film made up of a nitride film is formed on the sidewalls of the chalcogenide material layer to prevent sublimation of the chalcogenide material layer.

A piezoelectric element that is high in piezoelectric performance and large in displacement and is reliable is provided. The piezoelectric element includes a piezoelectric material containing BaTi2O5 as the principal constituent material and an inner electrode that applies voltage to the piezoelectric material. In this piezoelectric element, an electrode material (a mixture of Ru and RuO2) excellent in lattice matching with the piezoelectric material BaTi2O5 is used as the principal constituent material of the inner electrode.

The reliability of wirings, each of which includes a main conductive film containing copper as a primary component, is improved. On an insulating film including the upper surface of a wiring serving as a lower layer wiring, an insulating film formed of a silicon carbonitride film having excellent barrier properties to copper is formed; on the insulating film, an insulating film formed of a silicon carbide film having excellent adhesiveness to a low dielectric constant material film is formed; on the insulating film, an insulating film formed of a low dielectric constant material as an interlayer insulating film is formed; and thereafter a wiring as an upper layer wiring is formed.

After a gate electrode is formed on a main surface of a semiconductor substrate, low concentration layers are formed on the main surface of the semiconductor substrate by implanting impurities therein, with using the gate electrode as a mask. Thereafter, first sidewalls and second sidewalls are formed on the both side surfaces of the gate electrode. Subsequently, nitrogen or the like is ion-implanted into the semiconductor substrate, with using the first sidewalls, the second sidewalls and the gate electrode as a mask, thereby forming a crystallization-control region (CCR) on the main surface of the semiconductor substrate. Then, after the second sidewalls are removed, high concentration layers for a source and a drain are formed on the main surface of the semiconductor substrate.

To prevent peeling-off of a film in a solder connection pad of a semiconductor device, which peeling-off may occur due to thermal load and so on in the manufacture process, a pad structure is adopted in which a Cr film good in adhesiveness to either of a Ti film or Ti compound film and a Ni film (or a Cu film) is interposed between the Ti film or Ti compound film formed on a silicon or silicon oxide film, and the Ni film (or the Cu film) to be connected to solder. Further, to prevent peeling-off at the interface between the Ti film or Ti compound film and the silicon oxide film, the Cr film is formed in a larger area than the Ti film or Ti compound film.
