Abstract

A multilayer interconnection structure includes a first interlayer insulation film, a second interlayer insulation film formed over the first interlayer insulation film, an interconnection trench formed in the first interlayer insulation film and having a sidewall surface and a bottom surface covered with a first barrier metal film, a via-hole formed in the second interlayer insulation film and having a sidewall surface and a bottom surface covered with a second barrier metal film, an interconnection pattern filling the interconnection trench, and a via-plug filling the via-hole, wherein the via-plug makes a contact with a surface of the interconnection pattern, the interconnection pattern has projections and depressions on the surface, the interconnection pattern containing therein oxygen atoms along a crystal grain boundary extending from the surface toward an interior of the interconnection pattern with a concentration higher than a concentration at the surface.
