Abstract
A method for forming a multilevel interconnection of a semiconductor device of the present invention includes the steps of forming a first wiring layer by depositing a metallic film containing aluminum on an insulating film of a substrate and patterning the metallic film, forming an interlayer insulating film on the entire surface of the substrate to cover the wiring layer from the upper side, forming a connection hole reaching to the first wiring layer at a predetermined position of the interlayer insulating film, selectively depositing aluminum onto an interior of the connection hole at a volume fraction of 100% or more by CVD to fill the interior of the connection hole, flattening the entire upper surface of the interlayer insulating film including the connection hole filled with aluminum by a polishing process, washing the entire surface flattened by the polishing process, and depositing the metallic film containing aluminum at a predetermined position of the upper surface of the flattened and washed interlayer insulating film and patterning the metallic film, thereby forming a second wiring layer connected to the first wiring layer through aluminum filled in the connection hole.
