Abstract

The semiconductor device comprises a copper interconnection 26b buried in an insulating film 16, and a dummy pattern for chemical mechanical polishing buried in the insulating film 16 near the copper interconnection 26b. The unit patterns 26c of the dummy pattern are formed in the density of 10-25%. Even in the case that the electrolytic plating solution for bottom up growth mechanism is used, the step on the surface of a copper film due to over-plating can be decreased, and the total plating thickness necessary to fill the interconnection trenches can be decreased.
