The invention provides a manufacturing method of an insulating film having
a plurality of pores, as well as a manufacturing method of a highly
integrated semiconductor device with high yield. According to the
invention, a porous insulating film is formed by forming a plurality of
pores in an interlayer insulating film using a laser beam, which results
in lower dielectric constant of the interlayer insulating film. In
addition, a composition containing conductive particles is discharged
onto the porous insulating film by a droplet discharge method typified by
an ink jet printing method, and then baked to form a wire. As the laser
beam, an ultrashort pulse laser beam is preferably used.
