Abstract
Abstract A first interlayer dielectric film layer is formed on a P-type semiconductor substrate. The first interlayer dielectric film is made of a BPSG film formed by the method of atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition. First connection holes are formed at specified positions of the first interlayer dielectric film layer. A first conductive film layer is formed in a region including at least the first connection holes. The first conductive film layer is composed of three layers by sequentially laminating a barrier metal film, an aluminum alloy film, and an anti-reflection film. On the first conductive film layer formed in a specified pattern, a second interlayer dielectric film layer is formed. The second interlayer dielectric film layer is composed of a lower layer of silicon oxide film, an intermediate layer of silicon oxide film made of inorganic silica or organic silica, and an upper layer of silicon oxide film. Specified positions of the second interlayer dielectric film layer are selectively removed. The removed regions become second connection holes. A second conductive film layer is formed thereon. The second conductive film layer is composed of two layers of refractory metal film in the bottom layer and aluminum alloy film in the top layer.
