ABSTRACT:
A fabrication method of a semiconductor device capable of effective gettering treatment even when electronic elements are further miniaturized and further integrated and a semiconductor substrate or wafer is upsized. First, a single-crystal silicon substrate having a p-type gettering layer in its interior is prepared. Transistors are formed at the main surface of the substrate. An interlayer dielectric layer is formed to cover the transistors. Contact holes are formed in the interlayer dielectric layer to uncover specific positions of the respective transistors. The substrate is rapidly heated to a first temperature of 700.degree. C. to 850.degree. C. at a heating rate. The substrate is gradually cooled from the first temperature to a second temperature of approximately 600.degree. C. at a cooling rate. Metallic wiring lines are formed on the interlayer dielectric layer to electrically connected to the respective transistors through the corresponding contact holes. The target metallic impurity existing in and entered into the interior of the substrate is trapped by the gettering layer during the gradual cooling step.
