An object of the present is to provide a ULSI micro-interconnect member having a seed layer which, particularly on the inner sidewalls of vias and trenches, is formed with a sufficient coverage and a film thickness uniform with that on surface portion, and which has a low level of impurities. Further objects of the invention are to provide a ULSI micro-interconnect member in which, by utilizing such a seed layer to subsequently effect copper electroplating, micro-interconnects have been formed without generating voids; a process for forming the same; and a semiconductor wafer in which such ULSI micro-interconnects have been formed. A ULSI micro-interconnect member having a substrate and a ULSI micro-interconnect formed on the substrate, wherein the ULSI micro-interconnect includes a barrier layer formed on the substrate and a ruthenium electroplating layer formed on the barrier layer; the ULSI micro-interconnect member further including a copper electroplating layer formed using the ruthenium electroplating layer as a seed layer; and a process for fabricating the ULSI micro-interconnect members.
