In order to solve the aforementioned problems, the present-invention
provides a semiconductor device having a multilayer interconnection
structure, wherein an upper interconnection comprises a first metal layer
composed of an aluminum alloy, which is formed over a lower
interconnection, and a second metal layer formed over the first metal
layer and composed of an aluminum alloy formed as a film at a temperature
higher than that for the first metal layer. Another invention provides a
semiconductor device having a multilayer interconnection structure,
wherein a metal region composed of a metal different from an aluminum
alloy is formed in a portion spaced by a predetermined distance in an
extending direction of an upper interconnection from an end of a via hole
defined in the upper interconnection composed of the aluminum alloy,
which is electrically connected to a lower interconnection through the
via hole.
