Abstract
Abstract A metal wiring is composed of an electroconductive adhesive layer formed on the inner wall of a contact hole provided in a dielectric film and on the surface of the above mentioned dielectric film, a first metal wiring arranged on the adhesive layer and filling the contact hole, and a second metal wiring which is made of a metal which is different from that of the first metal wiring and is formed on the above mentioned first metal wiring. The first metallic film formed on the above mentioned first metal wiring is formed by, for example, the blanket tungsten-CVD method.
