ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device includes an insulation film6formed on a silicon substrate1, a buried metal interconnect8formed in the insulation film6, and a barrier metal film7formed between the insulation film6and the metal interconnect8. The barrier metal film7is a metal compound film. The metal compound film is characterized by including at least one of elements forming the insulation film.
