Abstract
A titanium nitride barrier layer of 50 to 200 nm in thickness is fabricated between a silicon substrate and an aluminum electrode layer of an IC device by reactive sputtering performed in a mixed gas including oxygen in a proportion of 1 to 5% by volume relative to other gases, comprising an inert gas and a reactive gas, providing the temperature of the silicon substrate at 350.degree. to 550.degree. C. during the reactive sputtering, so that the product has a failure rate, indicating the property of preventing mutual diffusion of silicon and aluminum atoms from occurring, of less than 1% and a resistivity less than 100 .mu..OMEGA..cm.
