ABSTRACT:
A refractory metal layer is formed on the entire surface of an interlayer insulating film having a connection hole, and then etched back by using an etching gas containing at least one of Kr, Xe, and Rn, each of which is an inert gas element having a large atomic weight. A contact plug is formed by using a resulting refractory metal layer. By employing this manufacturing method, a refractory metal layer formed by the blanket CVD method can be etched while the loading effect is prevented during overetching, and a contact plug having a flat burying surface can be formed without causing any abnormal eroded portion in a connection hole of an interlayer insulating film.
