摘要： A silicon oxide film to be used as an interlayer-insulating film in a semiconductor device is formed by a high pressure organic silane-O.sub.3 CVD. A semiconductor wafer is placed in a reaction vessel and is heated at a temperature of 350.degree. C. A mixture of an organic silane gas such as TEOS, HMDS and OMCTS and an ozone gas is introduced into the reaction vessel and the reaction is carried out at a pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure, preferably at a pressure of about 2 atm to form a silicon oxide film having excellent properties. A life time of the ozone gas which serves as an oxiding agent and/or catalyst can be prolonged under the high pressure, and therefore a deposition rate of the silicon oxide film ca be increased and the flatness of the silicon oxide film can be improved. Therefore, the silicon oxide film forming process can be performed efficiently and a flatening process after the formation of the silicon oxide film can be made simpler.

摘要： A semiconductor device has a multilevel interconnection structure that includes an insulating interlayer formed on a lower wiring layer, a semiconductor substrate, and at least one via hole. The via plug partially fills the via hole, and the upper surface of the via plug may have a convex shape or a surface of the lower wiring layer at a bottom of the via hole may have a concave shape. Where two via holes are present, one via plug substantially fills the shallowest via hole, and partially fills the deepest via hole. The upper wiring layer may be formed over the via plug to fill a remaining portion of the via hole not filled by the via plug.

摘要： 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.

摘要： An anti-fuse is manufactured by forming an isolation region including an insulating material layer buried in a surface of a device formation region on a surface of a semiconductor substrate, and by forming diffusion regions at both sides of the isolation region, then by contacting electrodes to the respective diffusion regions. The anti-fuse is initially in a non-conductive state, and is programmed to be in a permanently conductive state by a simple writing circuit.
