With a stopper layer 19 as an etching stopper, a second groove 14a
and a contact hole 13a are formed. Copper is buried inside the
second groove 14a and the contact hole 13a, thereby
forming a plug layer 22 and an overlying wiring layer 21 connected
to an underlying wiring layer 17 via the plug layer 22. The stopper
layer 19 is comprised of Si, C and N as essential components. First and
second cap layers 18 and 23 are also comprised of Si, C and N as
essential components.
