An object of the present invention is to prevent electrical
characteristics of circuit elements from being adversely affected by
copper diffusion in a semiconductor device having an integrated circuit
and an antenna formed over the same substrate, which uses copper plating
for the antenna. Another object is to prevent a defect of a semiconductor
device due to poor connection between an antenna and an integrated
circuit in a semiconductor device having the integrated circuit and the
antenna formed over the same substrate. In a semiconductor device having
an integrated circuit 100 and an antenna 101 formed over one substrate
102, when a copper plating layer 108 is used for a conductor of the
antenna 101, it is possible to prevent copper diffusion to circuit
elements and decrease an adverse effect on electrical characteristics of
circuit elements due to the copper diffusion because a base layer 107 of
the antenna 101 uses a nitride film of a predetermined metal. Moreover,
by the use of nickel nitride as a metal nitride for the base layer of the
antenna, poor connection between the antenna and the integrated circuit
can be decreased.
