A process which is capable of depositing a titanium nitride film of a high quality at a high deposition rate by low temperature chemical vapor deposition is provided. The titanium nitride film is deposited using a gas source comprising a compound of the general formula:A.sub.n B.sub.m Tiwherein n and m are independently selected from integers of from 1 to 3 provided that sum of n and m is equal to or smaller than 4; A is selected from a cyclic hydrocarbon group and a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group which is bonded to the titanium by .pi. electron; and B is an alkylamine derivative group containing a nitrogen atom which is directly bonded to the titanium. The film deposition process of the invention is highly useful in LSI fabrication.

An insulating layer is provided on a semiconductor substrate, a contact hole is formed in the insulating layer, and an underlying metal film is provided on a whole surface of the substrate including inner walls of the contact hole. A surface condition of the underlying metal film is adjusted by a hydrogen plasma treatment. By the hydrogen plasma treatment, a surface of the underlying metal film is hydrogenated and is sputter-etched, so that a disordered film and contaminants adsorbed on the surface of the underlying metal film are removed. Next, aluminum is deposited on the underlying metal film by a chemical vapor deposition process using an organic aluminum compound such as DMAH. The contact hole can be effectively filled with aluminum.

The anti-diffusion film may be formed by nitriding the surface of the silicide film.

A metal interconnection is prepared by forming an underlying metal film of high melting point metal such as Ti and/or high melting point metal compound such as TiN layers above a semiconductor substrate, plasma etching the surface of the underlying metal film in a gas atmosphere containing chloride, and forming an interconnecting metal film such as Al, Cu, Au and Ag on the underlying metal film. Alternatively, a metal interconnection is prepared by forming an insulating film above a semiconductor substrate, forming connection holes in the insulating film, forming an underlying metal film such as TiN on the insulating film and the bottom and side wall of the connection holes by a CVD process under controlled conditions, and forming an interconnecting metal film such as Al on the underlying metal film. The TiN film has (111) preferential orientation and the aluminum film has (111) preferential orientation, smooth surface and effective coverage. The thus fabricated metal interconnection has improved reliability including electromigration immunity when used in semiconductor devices and finding advantageous use in miniaturized semiconductor devices.

An antifuse element suitable for use in FPGA. When a device is miniaturized to reduce the write voltage in an antifuse element and as the film thickness of the antifuse dielectric film is being reduced, the dielectric breakdown voltage is greatly variable due to the irregularity of the underlying metal. If the dielectric film is formed by a metal oxide having a relatively high specific permitivity without changing its parasitic capacity as compared to the prior art, the film thickness of the dielectric film can be increased in comparison with oxide and nitride films formed according to the prior art. The irregularity of the underlying metal can be reduced by coating it with a metal nitride or TiB film or TiC film. To equalize the dielectric breakdown voltage, another insulation film having a film thickness such that the direct tunnel conduction is dominant is formed below the metal oxide. To reduce the irregularity of the metal surface and to reduce the resistance after dielectric breakdown, an amorphous silicon layer is deposited before the metal oxide is deposited thereover to form a laminated film.

For a substrate (W) placed in an airtight processing vessel (1), plasma is generated by introducing a microwave to a radial line slot antenna (4). Conditions are set such that the pressure in the processing vessel is in the range of from 7.32 Pa to 8.65 Pa, the microwave power is in the range of from 2000W to 2300W, the distance (L1) between the surface of the substrate and an opposed face of a raw-material supply member (3) is in the range of from 70 mm to 105 mm, and the distance (L2) between the surface of the substrate and an opposed face of a discharge gas supply member (2) is in the range of from 100 mm to 140 mm. Under these conditions, a raw-material gas consisting of a cyclic C5F8 gas is activated based on energy of the microwave. Consequently, film-forming species containing C4F6 ions and/or C4F6 radicals in a greater content can be obtained. Thus, a fluorine-added carbon film excellent in the leak properties and heat stability can be securely formed.
