An adhesion layer composed of a titanium film and a titanium nitride film
is formed by CVD on the inner wall of a contact hole formed in a
multilayer film composed of an interlayer insulating film, a silicon
nitride film, and a silicon dioxide film. Then, a conductive film made of
tungsten or polysilicon is filled by CVD in the contact hole and the
respective portions of the conductive film and the adhesion layer which
are located over the silicon dioxide film are removed by CMP.
Subsequently, the silicon dioxide film is removed by an etch-back method
or a CMP method so that the silicon nitride film is exposed. This can
prevent the delamination of the adhesion layer from the silicon nitride
film as a hydrogen barrier film and also prevent the formation of a
scratch in the silicon nitride film.
