Abstract

The present invention relates to a semiconductor device in which an interlayer insulating film having a low dielectric constant is formed by covering wiring primarily made of a copper film, and to a method of manufacturing the same. In manufacturing the semiconductor device an insulating film having a low dielectric constant is formed on a substrate by converting a film-forming gas into a plasma for reaction. The method includes forming a low-pressure insulating film on the substrate by coverting the film-forming gas at a first gas pressure into a plasma and forming a high-pressure insulating film on the low-pressure insulating film by converting the film-forming gas at second gas pressure, higher than the first gas pressure, into a plasma and reaction.
