  • Patent number: 7795137
    Abstract: When a tungsten film (43) is embedded inside of a conductive groove (4A) formed in a wafer (W2) and a silicon oxide film (36) thereon and having a high aspect ratio, film formation and etch back of the tungsten film (43) are successively performed in a chamber of the same apparatus, therefore, a film thickness of the tungsten film (43) deposited in one film formation step is made to be thin. Whereby problems, such as exfoliation of the tungsten film (43), generation of micro-cracks, and occurrence of warpage and cracks of the wafer (W2), are avoided.
