A micronized wiring structure is obtained by optimizing film forming modes of barrier metal films as being adapted respectively to a via-hole and a wiring groove, wherein sputtering processes are adopted herein, which are specifically the multi-step sputtering process for formation of the barrier metal film over the via-hole, and the one-step, low-power sputtering process for formation of the barrier metal film over the wiring groove, to thereby realize improved electric characteristics such as via-hole resistance and wiring resistance, and improved wiring reliabilities such as Cu filling property and electro-migration resistance.

(a) A recess is formed through an insulating film formed over a semiconductor substrate. (b) After the recess is formed, a temperature of the substrate is raised to 300° C. or higher at a temperature rising rate of 10° C./s or slower and a first degassing process is executed. (c) After the first degassing process, a conductive film is deposited on the insulating film, the conductive film being embedded in the recess. (d) The deposited conductive film is polished until the insulating film is exposed. It is possible to suppress occurrence of defects during CMP to be performed after a conductive member is deposited on the surface of the insulating film having a recess formed therethrough.

After an SiC film (4), an SiO2 film (5) and a silicon nitride film (6) are formed sequentially on an organic low dielectric constant film (3), by performing O2 plasma processing to a surface of the silicon nitride film (6), an oxide layer (7) is formed on the surface of the silicon nitride film (6). Then, a wiring trench pattern is formed on the silicon nitride film (6) and the oxide layer (7), and a resin layer (10) on which a via hole pattern is formed is formed. Subsequently, a portion of the oxide layer (7) exposed from the resin layer (10) is removed along with unnecessary particles.

After a via hole (102) to connect a lower wiring (101) and an upper wiring not shown is formed in an insulating film (103) using an etching stopper film (104) and a hard mask (105), a base film (106) made from Ta is formed over the insulating film (103) so as to cover an inner wall of the via hole (102) by a one-step low-power bias sputtering method of the present invention. Thus, the base film (106) with a thin and uniform film thickness covering a region from an inner wall surface of the via hole (102) to the insulating film (103) is obtained. This makes it possible to form the base film thin and uniformly over the inner wall surface, that is, from a sidewall surface to a bottom surface, of the opening without causing any disadvantage in terms of wiring formation by relatively simple steps, thereby realizing a highly reliable ultra-fine wiring structure.
