Abstract

A production method of a semiconductor device which has a first insulator film formed directly or through at least one layer on a semiconductor substrate, a wiring film containing gold (Au) and formed on the first insulator film, a metal layer covering the surface of the wiring film, and a second insulator film formed on the metal layer to cover its surface. The metal layer is made through an absorption process or phenomenon of a metal included in the metal layer. Preferably, the metal layer is made of tungsten (W) or molybdenum (Mo) and the wiring film is made of a gold (Au) layer and at least one electroconductive layer stacked. An improved adhesion between the wiring layer and an insulator film formed thereon can be obtained.
