Abstract

A method for forming a copper film is provided. In the method, a base film that is a titanium nitride film, a tungsten film or a tungsten nitride film is formed along a surface of an insulating film of an object. A copper film is formed on the base film of the object cooled to a temperature of 209 K or less.

Claims (7)

1. A method for forming a copper film, the method comprising:

forming a base film along a surface of an insulating film of an object, the base film being one of a titanium nitride film, a tungsten film or a tungsten nitride film; and

forming a copper film on the base film of the object having the insulating film and the base film after cooling the object to a temperature of 209 K or less.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a film thickness of the base film is set such that the base film becomes in an amorphous state.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the film thickness of the base film is set to be greater than or equal to 1.0 nm and smaller than or equal to 2.5 nm.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: increasing a temperature of the object including the insulating film, the base film and the copper film.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a recess is formed on the insulating film and the base film is formed along a surface of the insulating film which defines the recess.
