Abstract

(a) A copper alloy film containing at least two types of metal elements in addition to copper is formed on the surface of an insulator containing oxygen and formed on a semiconductor substrate. (b) A metal film made of pure copper or copper alloy is formed on the copper alloy film. (c) After the step (a) or (b), heat treatment is performed under the condition that a metal oxide film is formed on a surface of the insulator through reaction between the oxygen in the insulator and the metal elements in the copper alloy film.
