Abstract

A metallic interconnection has a laminate structure including a Ti film, a TiN film, a Cu--Ti compound film and a Cu alloy film containing Cu and a small amount of other metallic elements, the films being consecutively formed on a SiO.sub.2 film located on a semiconductor substrate. A W film covers the surface of the laminate structure. The Cu--Ti compound film is formed by sputtering a Ti and a Cu alloy targets followed by a subsequent heat treatment or by sputtering Cu--Ti alloy target and a subsequent heat treatment. The Cu--Ti compound film increases the adhesion force between the Cu alloy film and the TiN film while the W film protects the metallic interconnection against oxidation and corrosion.
