  • Patent number: 7999391
    Abstract: Provided is a wiring of the Damascene structure for preventing the TDDB withstand voltage degradation and for keeping the planarity to prevent the degradation of a focus margin. A trench wiring (213) is formed in an interlayer insulating film, which is composed of a silicon carbide-nitride film (205), a SiOCH film (206) and a silicon oxide film (207) [(e)]. The silicon oxide film (207) is etched at a portion adjacent to the wiring of a polished surface by dry etching or wet etching [(f)]. A silicon carbide-nitride film (SiCN) (214) is formed as a Cu cap film [(g)]. An interlayer insulating film is further formed thereon to form a conductive plug, a trench wiring and so on.
