Abstract

In a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, an insulating film having pores is formed on a substrate, and an opening is formed in the insulating film. Thereafter, a material gas supplying Si or C is supplied to the insulating film. Thereby, deficient elements, such as Si or C, are supplied to the insulating film. Thereafter, the opening, including a barrier metal, is filled with a conductive member to form a wiring structure.

Claims (28)

1. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising, sequentially:

forming on a substrate an insulating film having pores;

forming an opening in said insulating film;

before filling said opening, supplying a material gas to said insulating film in said opening, said material gas supplying Si to said insulating film in said opening; and

filling said opening with a conductive member.

2. The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 1 further comprising forming a barrier metal at least on an inner wall of said opening after supplying said material gas and before filling said opening with said conductive member.

3. The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 1 further comprising treating said insulating film with a plasma before or at the same time as supplying said material gas to said insulating film in said opening.
