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 (24)

1. A semiconductor device manufacturing method comprising:

forming a first conductor over a semiconductor substrate;

forming an insulation film over the semiconductor substrate and over the first conductor;

forming in the insulation film an opening arrived to the first conductor;

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

forming a second film containing Cu and Mn over the first film in the opening;

forming a second conductor containing Cu in the opening; and

oxidizing Mn in the second film to change the second film into a third film formed of an oxide containing Mn by thermal processing.

2. The semiconductor device manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein

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

3. A semiconductor device manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein

in the forming the opening, the opening is formed, including a contact hole arriving at the first conductor and a trench connected to a top of the contact hole.

4. A semiconductor device according to claim 3 , wherein

in the forming the second film, the second film is formed by forming the second film in the contact hole and the trench while selectively removing the first film on a bottom of the contact hole.

5. A semiconductor device manufacturing method according to claim 3 , further comprising, after the forming the first film and before the forming the second film,

selectively removing the first film on a bottom of the contact hole.

6. A semiconductor device manufacturing method according to claim 3 , further comprising, after the forming the second film and before the forming the second conductor,

selectively removing the second film on a bottom of the contact hole.

7. A semiconductor device manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein

in the forming the first film, the first film is formed by chemical vapor deposition.

8. A semiconductor device manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein

in the forming the second film, the second film is formed by physical vapor deposition.

9. A semiconductor device manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein

in the forming the first film, the first film is formed of a raw material containing no carbon.
