Abstract
First, a lower layer wiring is formed on a semiconductor substrate. Then, an interlayer insulating film is formed on the lower layer wiring. Next, a first Ti film is formed on the interlayer insulating film. Thereafter, a TiN film is formed on the first Ti film. Then, a via hole is formed in the TiN film, the first Ti film and the interlayer insulating film such as to reach the lower layer wiring. Then, a second Ti film and an Al or Al alloy film are sequentially formed in the via hole and on the TiN film. Next, a thermal treatment is carried out, thereby allowing Ti in the second Ti film and Al in the Al or Al alloy film to react with each other in a bottom of the via hole.
