Abstract

A semiconductor device enables a barrier layer to fully acquire a barriering property against the diffusion of Cu from a wiring main body and the diffusion of Si from an insulating film, enhances the adhesiveness of the barrier layer and the insulating film and excels in reliability of operation over a long period of time. In this invention, a semiconductor device provided on an insulating film with a wiring includes the insulating film containing silicon, a wiring main body formed of copper in a groove-like opening disposed in the insulating film, and a barrier layer formed between the wiring main body and the insulating film and made of an oxide containing Cu and Si and Mn.
