Abstract

A method for fabricating a semiconductor device on a silicon substrate comprises the step of high-frequency plasma-treatment for through-hole before filling the through-hole with a metallic layer for connection. The plasma contains argon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms wherein the ratio of oxygen atoms to the total of the oxygen and hydrogen atoms in number is between 1/3 and 1/100. The silicon substrate is applied with a high-frequency bias voltage during the plasma treatment for acceleration of argon ion.
