Abstract

There is provided a method of forming a barrier metal which is designed to be interposed between a metal layer and an insulating layer, both constituting a multi-layered structure of semiconductor device, the method comprising the steps of positioning a substrate having the insulating layer formed thereon at a predetermined position inside a processing vessel forming a processing space, and alternately introducing a gas containing a refractory metallic atom, a gas containing Si atom and a gas containing N atom into the processing vessel under a predetermined processing pressure, thereby allowing a refractory metal nitride or a refractory metal silicon nitride to be deposited on the insulating layer by way of atomic layer deposition.
