As etch-stop films or Cu-diffusion barrier films used in insulation films
constituting conductor layers of a stacked structure, films having
smaller dielectric constant than silicon nitride films are used, and an
insulation film at a lower-layer part of the stacked structure is made to
have smaller dielectric constant than that at an upper-layer part
thereof, and further this insulation film is a silicon oxide (SiO) film
and has, in the interior thereof, nano-pores of from 0.05 nm or more to 4
nm or less in diameter as chief construction. This makes it possible to
dramatically reduce effective dielectric constant while keeping the
mechanical strength of the conductore layers themselves, and can
materialize a highly reliable and high-performance semiconductor device
having mitigated the wiring delay of signals which pass through wirings.
