Abstract

Implemented is a method of manufacturing a contact structure having a combination of formation of a buried wiring and that of a low dielectric constant interlayer insulating film in which a connecting hole to be formed in a low dielectric constant interlayer insulating film does not turn into an abnormal shape. A fourth interlayer insulating film 11 is formed on an upper surface of a third interlayer insulating film 10. Next, patterning for a wiring trench and a connecting hole is carried out into the fourth interlayer insulating film 11 and the third interlayer insulating film 10, respectively. Then, a pattern of the connecting hole is first formed in a third low dielectric constant interlayer insulating film 9. Thereafter, a second interlayer insulating film 8 exposed in the pattern is removed and a pattern of the wiring trench is formed in the third interlayer insulating film 10. Subsequently, second and third low dielectric constant interlayer insulating films 7 and 9 are etched, and the wiring trench and the connecting hole are formed at the same time. Thus, a photoresist can be formed again without the second and third low dielectric constant interlayer insulating films 7 and…
