Abstract

In order to form a good contact between metallizations and improve the reliability and product yield of a semiconductor integrated circuit device, a plug is formed in a contact hole by depositing a first sputter film inside of the contact hole by traditional sputtering, depositing a second sputter film over the first sputter film by long throw sputtering, depositing a W film over the second sputtering film by CVD and removing the first and second sputter films and the W film from the outside of the contact hole. The barrier properties can be improved by constituting a barrier film from the first sputter film and second sputter film which are different in directivity.
