ABSTRACT:
In the present invention, a barrier film20is formed by forming a tungsten nitride film21and subsequently by forming a tungsten silicide film22. The tungsten silicide film22is exposed at the surface of the barrier film20, and an electrode film25′ is formed so as to be brought into close contact with the tungsten silicide film22. Since a conductive material constituting the electrode film25′ is chemically bound to silicon atoms in the tungsten silicide film22, the adhesion between the barrier film20and the electrode film25′ is high, and the electrode film25′ resists peeling from the barrier film20. Further, agglomeration is not likely to occur in the electrode film25′ during annealing.
