Abstract

A reliable semiconductor device having a multilayer wiring structure formed of copper as a main component material, which constrains occurrence of voids caused by stress migration. In the multilayer wiring structure, a first insulation layer having a high barrier property and a compression stress, and making contact with the upper surface of a first wiring made of copper as a main component material, a second insulation film having a tensile stress, and a third insulation film having a dielectric constant which is lower than those of the first and second insulation film, are laminated one upon another in the mentioned order as viewed the bottom thereof, and a via hole is formed piercing through the first insulation film, the second insulation film and the third insulation film, making contact with the first wiring.
