ABSTRACT:
A method of producing a buried-type multilayer interconnection structure is provided. The method comprises steps of: forming a hole portion in an insulating layer; forming a catalyst layer having average film thickness from 0.2 nm to 10 nm on a surface of the hole portion by a physical vapor deposition method; forming an electroless plating layer on the surface of the hole portion by an electroless plating method using the catalyst layer as a catalyst; and burying up the hole portion with an electrolytic plating layer by an electrolytic plating method using the electroless plating layer as a seed layer.
