Abstract

The semiconductor device is formed according to the following steps. A TiN film 71 and a W film 72 are deposited on a silicon oxide film 64 including the inside of a via-hole 66 by the CVD method and thereafter, the W film 72 and TiN film 71 on the silicon oxide film 64 are etched back to leave only the inside of the via-hole 66 and form a plug 73 . Then, a TiN film 74 , Al-alloy film 75 , and Ti film 76 are deposited on the silicon oxide film 64 including the surface of the plug 73 by the sputtering method and thereafter, the Ti film 76 , Al-alloy film 75 , and TiN film 74 are patterned to form second-layer wirings 77 and 78.

Claims (31)
