Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device that fills contact holes with conductive material such as aluminum or an aluminum alloy. A semiconductor device is manufactured by the process of forming an opening such as a contact hole in an interlayer dielectric film formed on a semiconductor substrate having a device element formed thereon. A first film and a second film made of conductive material such as aluminum or an alloy containing aluminum are formed on the interlayer dielectric film and the opening. The second film is then gradually cooled.
