A copper interconnection where holes in the vicinity of an interface are
reduced to lower contribution of interface diffusion to Cu the EM,
increase a lifetime, and simultaneously increase adhesiveness and
resistance to stress migration is constituted in a manner that impurities
15 form a solid solution in the vicinity of an interface between a Cu
layer 16 and a barrier metal layer 12, the impurities are precipitated,
and an amorphous Cu layer 14 is fabricated, or a compound with Cu is
fabricated. The copper interconnection is also constituted in a manner
that impurities 15 form a solid solution in the vicinity of an interface
between the Cu layer 16 and a cap layer 19, the impurities 15 are
precipitated, and an amorphous Cu layer 14 is fabricated, or a compound
with Cu is fabricated.
