Abstract

A Phospho Silicate Glass layer is used for an insulation layer between a lower wiring layer including a refractory metal silicide and an upper wiring layer in a semiconductor device of a multilevel interconnection structure. A reflow treatment is performed on the Phospho Silicate Glass layer using steam. A part of the lower wiring layer is oxidized during the reflow treatment, and the resistivity of the lower wiring layer is simultaneously lowered during the reflow treatment.
