Abstract

In a process of forming a metal film, when metal wiring is formed on a diffusion layer (an electrode, etc.) of a circuit element formed on a silicon semiconductor wafer, a Ti film is deposited on a surface of a processed body by PECVD using TiCl.sub.4 gas and H.sub.2 gas as material gas. A Ti--Si--N film is formed on the diffusion layer surface by adding N.sub.2 gas to the material gas, and the Ti film is formed subsequently on the Ti--Si--N film. The Ti--Si--N film suppresses diffusion of silicon from the semiconductor wafer side.
