Abstract

In a multi-layer aluminum interconnection structure, improved reliability as well as a stable via-hole resistance are achieved by promoting mixing at an interface between aluminum-containing interconnection layers and improving coverage of an upper aluminum interconnection layer at a connection hole. A first interconnection layer is electrically connected to a second interconnection layer through a connection hole. The second interconnection layer is provided with a titanium film, a titanium nitride film and aluminum alloy film. A connection hole is filled with a tungsten film. A tungsten film is formed on a surface of the first interconnection layer. The titanium film is in contact with the tungsten film through the connection hole.
