A tantalum nitride film is formed by introducing a raw gas consisting of a coordination compound constituted by an elemental tantalum (Ta) having a coordinated ligand represented by the general formula: N-(R, R') (in the formula, R and R' may be the same or different and each represents an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms) and an oxygen atom-containing gas into a film-forming chamber to make them react with one another on a substrate and to thus form a compound represented by the formula: TaOxNy(R,R')z according to the CVD technique; and then introducing an H atom-containing gas into the chamber to thus form a tantalum nitride film rich in tantalum atoms. The resulting tantalum nitride film has a low resistance, low contents of C and N atoms, and a high compositional ratio: Ta/N, can ensure sufficiently high adherence to the electrical connection-forming film and can thus be useful as a barrier film. Moreover, tantalum particles can be implanted in the resulting film according to the sputtering technique to thus further enrich the film with tantalum.
