Abstract
A semiconductor device manufacturing method of the present invention comprises the steps of forming a groove on an insulating film formed over a semiconductor substrate, forming a first copper film on the insulating film and in the groove by sputtering using a target, reflowing the first copper film by heating it, growing a second copper film on the first copper film by plating or chemical vapor deposition, and removing the second copper film and the first copper film on the insulating film by chemical mechanical polishing to remain at least the first copper film in the groove. Accordingly, in the semiconductor device manufacturing method to provide copper wirings, increase in resistance can be suppressed by firmly embedding copper into the groove and also electromigration resistance of copper wirings can be improved.
