ABSTRACT:
A method for forming an interconnection pattern of Al on a structure, such as a semiconductor device, includes the step of introducing ions of a selected material, such as As, P, B and Ar, into a film of Al to be formed into an interconnection pattern prior to the step of heat treatment, thereby substantially preventing undesired results, such as hillocks, when the pattern is heat-treated.
