Abstract

An object of the present invention is to prevent formation of a badly situated via metal in a Damascene wiring portion in multiple layers having an air-gap structure. In the present invention, a via is completely separated from an air-gap 45 by forming an interlayer insulating film 44 having the air-gap 45 between adjacent Damascene wiring portions after forming a sacrifice film pillar 42 from a selectively removable insulating film in a formation region of a connection hole. The present invention can provide multiple-layered buried wiring in which a high reliable via connection and a reduced parasitic capacitance due to the air-gap are achieved.
