Abstract:
The semiconductor device comprises: insulating films 40, 42 formed over a substrate 10; an interconnection 58 buried in at least a surface side of the insulating films 40, 42; insulating films 60, 62 formed on the insulating film 42 and including a hole-shaped via-hole 60 and a groove-shaped via-hole 66a having a pattern bent at a right angle; and buried conductors 70, 72a buried in the hole-shaped via-hole 60 and the groove-shaped via-hole 66a, wherein the groove-shaped via-hole 66a is formed to have a width which is smaller than a width of the hole-shaped via-hole 66. Whereby, the defective filling of the buried conductor is prevented, and the cracking of the inter-layer insulating film can be prevented. Steps on the conductor plug can be reduced, so that the step cannot be influential on the upper interconnection layers and insulating layers. Accordingly, defective contact with the upper interconnection layer and the problems taking place in forming films can be prevented, and resultantly the semiconductor device can have high water resistance and high interconnection reliability.

Abstract:
In a pad forming region electrically connecting an element forming region to the outside, in which a low dielectric constant insulating film is formed in association with in the element forming region, a Cu film serving as a via formed in the low dielectric constant insulating film in the pad forming region is disposed in higher density than that of a Cu film serving as a via in the element forming region. Hereby, when an internal stress occurs, the stress is prevented from disproportionately concentrating on the via, and deterioration of a function of a wiring caused thereby can be avoided.
