Abstract
In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device including a semiconductor element formed on a semiconductor substrate, an SiOF film is formed at least on the top surfaces of metal wirings under condition that an in-chamber pressure is 5 mTorr or lower. The SiOF film can thus be buried into a space between the metal wirings without causing any void and the capacitance between the wirings can be prevented from increasing, while preventing the metal wirings from being damaged and preventing the aspect ratio from increasing.
