Abstract

A semiconductor device manufacturing method includes forming an organic insulating layer on a semiconductor on which metal wiring is provided, the organic insulating layer having an opening to expose part of the metal wiring, forming a seed metal covering the part of the metal wiring exposed from the opening, and an inside face and an around portion of the opening of the organic insulating layer, forming a mask covering an edge of the seed metal and exposing part of the seed metal formed in the opening, and forming a barrier metal on the seed metal exposed from the mask by electroless plating. The mask includes an organic material or an inorganic dielectric material.
