Abstract: Provided is a direct contact technology by which a barrier metal layer between a Cu alloy wiring composed of pure Cu or a Cu alloy and a semiconductor layer can be eliminated, and the Cu alloy wiring can be directly and surely connected to the semiconductor layer within a wide process margin. The wiring structure is provided with the semiconductor layer and the Cu alloy film composed of pure Cu or the Cu alloy on a substrate in this order from the substrate side. A laminated structure is included between the semiconductor layer and the Cu alloy film. The laminated structure is composed of an (N, C, F) layer, which contains at least one element selected from among a group composed of nitrogen, carbon and fluorine, and a Cu—Si diffusion layer, which contains Cu and Si, in this order from the substrate side. Furthermore, at least the one element selected from among the group composed of nitrogen, carbon and fluorine is bonded to Si contained in the semiconductor layer.

Abstract: An interconnection structure, containing a substrate and, in the following order from a side of the substrate: (I) a semiconductor layer; (II) a multilayer structure including (II-a) a first layer containing at least one type of an element selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, carbon and fluorine and (II-b) an Al—Si diffusion layer containing Al and Si; and (III) an Al film of pure Al or an Al alloy, wherein the at least one of element selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, carbon, and fluorine in the first layer is bonded with Si contained in the semiconductor layer.

Abstract: Provided is a direct contact technology by which a barrier metal layer between an Al alloy interconnection composed of pure Al or an Al alloy and a semiconductor layer can be eliminated and the Al alloy interconnection can be directly and surely connected to the semiconductor layer within a wide process margin. In an interconnection structure, the semiconductor layer, and the Al alloy film composed of the pure Al or the Al alloy are provided on the substrate in this order from the substrate side. A multilayer structure of an (N, C, F) layer containing at least one type of an element selected from among a group composed of nitrogen, carbon and fluorine, and an Al—Si diffusion layer containing Al and Si is included in this order from the substrate side, between the semiconductor layer and the Al alloy film. At least the one type of the element, i.e., nitrogen, carbon or fluorine contained in the (N, C, F) layer is bonded with Si contained in the semiconductor layer.
