Definitions
- the present invention relates to a semiconductor device having a wiring structure, and more particularly to a semiconductor device having a trench wiring (damascene wiring) structure mainly composed of copper and a method for manufacturing the same.
- a first mode of electo-port migration is a mode in which a void is formed in the vicinity of a connection portion between a lower layer wiring and a via in the lower layer wiring in a structure in which the lower layer wiring and the upper layer wiring are connected by a via. It is.
- FIG. 22 is a cross-sectional view of a wiring in which a defect has occurred due to electret migration.
- 22 (a) is a cross-sectional view showing the first embodiment.
- the lower layer wiring 100, the wiring protective film 101, the upper layer wiring 102, and the wiring protective film 103 are laminated in this order, and the lower layer wiring 100 and the upper layer wiring 102 are formed. Is connected via via 104.
