Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a first conductor formed over a semiconductor device; an insulation film formed over the semiconductor substrate and the first conductor and having an opening arriving at the first conductor; a first film formed in the opening and formed of a compound containing Zr; a second film formed over the first film in the opening and formed of an oxide containing Mn; and a second conductor buried in the opening and containing Cu.

Claims (30)

1. A semiconductor device comprising:

a first conductor formed over a semiconductor substrate;

an insulation film formed over the semiconductor substrate and the first conductor and having an opening reaching to the first conductor;

a first film formed in the opening and formed of a compound containing Zr;

a second film formed over the first film in the opening and formed of an oxide containing Mn; and

a second conductor buried in the opening and containing Cu; wherein

the second film is formed between the first film and the second conductor,

the opening includes a contact hole reaching to the first conductor and a trench connected to a top of the contact hole,

the second film is formed on a side surface of the contact hole and on a side surface and a bottom surface of the trench,

the second conductor is in contact with the first conductor at a bottom of the contact hole.

2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first film is a ZrB 2 film, ZrBN film or ZrN film.

3. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , where in

the first film is a layer film including a ZrB 2 film, ZrBN film or ZrN film.

4. A semiconductor device comprising:
