SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

The semiconductor device of the present invention includes a semiconductor substrate on which are formed semiconductor elements, and a plurality of wiring layers formed on the semiconductor substrate via porous insulating films. The surface of the plurality of the wiring layers is preferably covered with a compact insulating film. The size of the pores in the porous insulating film is preferably 5 nm to 50 nm in diameter, and the volume of the pores in the porous insulating film is preferably 50% to 80% of the total volume of the porous insulating film. The porous insulating film is formed by subjecting a mixed insulating film of a basic oxide and an acidic oxide to a heat treatment to precipitate only either one of the basic oxide and the acidic oxide, and then dissolving out selectively the basic or acidic oxide precipitated.
