Abstract

A pad metal film used to fit a conductor for external connection composed of a bump-like or wire-like conductor can be formed by reduced numbers of processes. A semiconductor device is so configured that a trench for interconnect with its diameter of about 50 &mgr;m and its depth of about 2 &mgr;m is formed on a protective insulating film, formed on a semiconductor substrate, with a thickness of 3 to 4 &mgr;m, and in the trench for interconnect is imbedded an uppermost-layered copper wiring through a first barrier metal film composed of a titanium nitride with a thickness of about 50 nm. Furthermore, approximately in the center region of the upper-layered copper wiring is imbedded a copper pad film through a second barrier metal film with a thickness of about 70 nm.
