ABSTRACT:
With a stopper layer19as an etching stopper, a second groove14aand a contact hole13aare formed. Copper is buried inside the second groove14aand the contact hole13a, thereby forming a plug layer22and an overlying wiring layer21connected to an underlying wiring layer17via the plug layer22. The stopper layer19is comprised of Si, C and N as essential components. First and second cap layers18and23are also comprised of Si, C and N as essential components.
