ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device has a multi-layer wiring in which resistance against migration of the semiconductor device is raised to improve the yield. Semiconductor device100includes a first interconnect (wiring)112, formed in a first interlayer insulating film106on a semiconductor substrate, not shown, a via128provided on the first interconnect (wiring)112so that the via is connected to the first interconnect (wiring)112, and a different element containing electrically conductive film114. The different element containing electrically conductive film is formed selectively on a site on the top of the first interconnect (wiring)112where the first wiring is contacted with the bottom of the via128. The different element containing electrically conductive film contains a metal of a main component of the first interconnect (wiring)112and a different element different from the metal of the main component.
