Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a titanium nitride film as a barrier which is formed in a hole. The width or diameter of the hole is smaller than 1 .mu.m, and the aspect ratio thereof is larger than 0.7. The sidewall of the hole is substantially perpendicular to the surface of a semiconductor substrate. By the low pressure CVD method with a cold wall type CVD apparatus, it becomes possible to form the titanium nitride film having excellent characteristics with a good step coverage in a considerably fine hole having a large aspect ratio.
