Abstract

A semiconductor device has a multilayer interconnection including a copper interconnection film formed in a predetermined area within an insulating film, a liner film, and a high-melting-point metal film. The copper interconnection film is polycrystalline, and crystal grains occupying 40% or more of an area of a unit interconnection surface among crystal grains forming the polycrystal are oriented to (111) in a substrate thickness direction. The copper interconnection film has crystal conformity with the noble metal liner film. In a case where the high-melting-point metal film is formed of Ti and the noble metal liner film is a Ru film, the high-melting-point metal of Ti dissolves into Ru in a solid state to form the noble metal liner. Thus, a copper interconnection is formed with both of Cu diffusion barrier characteristics and Cu crystal conformity.
