The use of a material possessing a six-member borazine ring consisting of
at least boron and nitrogen elements in the form of a low dielectric
constant insulating film in a hard mask, a Cu diffusion barrier layer and
an etching stopper which are necessary when low dielectric constant
interlayer insulating films and Cu wiring in the multilayer
interconnection of an LSI allows the parasitic capacity between the
multilayer wirings to be suppressed and enables the ULSI to produce a
high-speed operation.
