Electrode connections for semiconductor devices

摘要

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including forming an electrode on a part of a semiconductor substrate, depositing an insulating film on the semiconductor substrate and on the electrode, and forming a contact hole penetrating through the insulating film to expose a part of the electrode; forming a barrier metal layer on the electrode in the contact hole, on the internal side surface of the contact hole, and on the surface of the insulating film; and depositing a metal layer on the barrier metal layer and patterning the metal layer and the barrier metal layer to form a wiring layer wherein the barrier metal layer comprises a metal that does not form an intermetallic material by solid state diffusion with either of the electrode and the metal layer even at elevated temperatures.
