Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a silicon nitride film formed above a front surface side of a semiconductor substrate, a first wiring formed above the silicon nitride film, a second wiring containing aluminum formed over the first wiring via a first insulating film, a second insulating film having an opening over the second wiring, and aluminum nitride formed over the second wiring at a bottom surface of the opening.

Claims (26)

1 . A semiconductor device comprising:

a silicon nitride film formed above a front surface side of a semiconductor substrate;

a first wiring formed above the silicon nitride film;

a second wiring containing aluminum formed over the first wiring via a first insulating film;

a second insulating film having an opening over the second wiring; and

aluminum nitride formed over the second wiring at a bottom surface of the opening.

2 . The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a bonding wire or a bump electrode is formed over the second wiring at the bottom surface of the opening.

3 . The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a probe mark formed over the second wiring at the bottom surface of the opening.

4 . The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

aluminum oxide formed on side walls of the second wiring.

5 . The semiconductor device according to claim 4 , wherein the aluminum nitride and the aluminum oxide are formed over the second wiring at the bottom surface of the opening.

6 . The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an MISFET formed over the semiconductor substrate,

wherein the MISFET includes:

a gate electrode formed over the semiconductor substrate via a gate insulating film; and

a side wall insulating film formed on side walls of the gate electrode, and

wherein the silicon nitride film configures the side wall insulating film.

7 . The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an MISFET formed over the semiconductor substrate;

the silicon nitride film formed over source and drain regions of the MISFET; and

a silicon oxide film formed over the silicon nitride film.

8 . The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the semiconductor substrate is in a wafer state, and

wherein the silicon nitride film is formed also on a back surface of the semiconductor substrate.
