Abstract

By covering inner surfaces of a wiring groove 26 c and a via hole 27 a with a fourth insulation film 25 containing porogen during a manufacturing process of a semiconductor device, an increase in the relative permittivity of the fourth insulation film 25 that is a low-permittivity film on the inner surfaces of the wiring groove 26 c and the via hole 27 a can be suppressed in a manufacturing process of a semiconductor device such as a barrier metal sputtering process.

Claims (12)

1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising the steps of:

(a) forming a via hole on an interlayer insulation film formed on a substrate;

(b) forming a wiring groove on the interlayer insulation film after the step (a);

(c) covering lateral walls and bottom portions of the via hole and the wiring groove with an inside-face insulation film after the step (b);

(d) covering, via the inside-face insulation film, the lateral walls and bottom portions of the via hole and the wiring groove with a barrier metal film after the step (c); and

(e) lowering permittivity of the inside-face insulation film after the step (d).

2. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein permittivity of the interlayer insulation film is lowered in comparison to the permittivity of the inside-face insulation film formed in the step (c).

3. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the permittivity of the inside-face insulation film is lowered to substantially 2.5 or lower in the step (e).

4. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the inside-face insulation film formed in the step (c) is formed from carbon-containing silicon containing porogen.

5. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the inside-face insulation film formed in the step (c) is provided with a higher Si—CH 3 /Si—O bond ratio than an upper surface of the interlayer insulation film between wires.

6. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the step (e) is a step for exposing an upper face of the inside-face insulation film to ultraviolet light.

7. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the step (e) is a step for exposing an upper face of the inside-face insulation film to an electron beam.
