Abstract

In a semiconductor integrated circuit device having a fine multilayer interconnection structure, a wiring material such as tungsten is formed on a predetermined part of the interior of a wiring layer-forming groove formed in a flat inter-layer insulating film by selective deposition. The flat inter-layer insulating film has a laminate structure of two or more insulating films different in etching speed, and a (first) insulating film, underlying a (second) insulating film in which the wiring layer-forming groove of the inter-layer insulating film is formed, serves as an etching stopper to make the depth of the wiring layer-forming groove constant when forming the groove from etching. Consequently, the depth of the wiring layer-forming groove can be defined accurately by the thickness of a (second) insulating film formed by deposition, and the film thickness between wiring layers can be accurately defined by the thickness of an insulating film formed by deposition.
