  • Patent number: 7651941
    Abstract: Provided are: a method of manufacturing semiconductor device which has multilayer interconnection in a damascene structure and a conductive barrier film such as CoWP film, and which has more excellent electric characteristics than a conventional one. To this end, when a via hole reaching a lower wiring is formed, a reaction layer formed between a conductive barrier film and the lower wiring and remaining on the surface of the lower wiring is removed. Thus, at an interface where a lower surface of the via and the lower wiring are joined, the reaction layer, formed between the conductive barrier film and the lower wiring, does not exist, so that the via resistance can be sufficiently reduced.
