Abstract

The invention provides a fabrication method of multilevel interconnections for semiconductor integrated circuits. Aluminium wiring lines are formed on a first silicon oxide film overlying a silicon substrate. A second silicon oxide film is grown by a plasma chemical vapor deposition on the wiring lines and the first silicon oxide film for a specific surface treatment of either an etching with use of fluorine compounds or an ion-implantation of fluorine compounds. A third silicon oxide film is grown on the second silicon oxide film by an atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition with use of organic silicon compounds and an oxygen including ozone.
