摘要

A TiSiN film is used as a barrier metal layer for a semiconductor device to prevent the diffusion of Cu. The TiSiN film is formed by a plasma CVD process or a thermal CVD process. TiCl4 gas, a silicon hydride gas and NH3 gas are used as source gases for forming the TiSiN film by the thermal CVD process. TiCl4 gas, a silicon hydride gas, H2 gas and N2 gas are used as source gases for forming a TiSiN film by the plasma CVD process.
