Abstract: An apparatus for electroplating a substrate includes a substrate supporting member that supports the substrate such that a plating surface of the substrate faces upwardly, an anode electrode disposed at an upper part of the substrate supporting member, a power source for applying a voltage to the anode electrode and the substrate, and a plating solution supply member for supplying a plating solution onto the substrate.

Abstract: A process for forming a barrier metal layer and a metal layer on the surface of a contact hole formed on a semiconductor substrate. A titanium and a first titanium nitride layers are sequentially deposited on the surface of the contact hole and annealed, and thereafter, a second titanium nitride layer is deposited on the first titanium nitride layer and annealed, to thereby form a barrier metal layer. A first aluminum layer alloyed with silicon and copper of a given quantity, and a second aluminum layer alloyed with copper of a given quantity, are sequentially deposited on the barrier metal layer, and thereafter performed, the annealing process is performed. A third aluminum layer alloyed with copper of a given quantity is deposited on the second aluminum layer and annealed, to thereby form a metal layer.
