Abstract

See full text

Semiconductor device and method for manufacturing the same prevent the spread of a tungsten film out of an opening portion of a contact hole when the tungsten is grown in the contact hole and avoid inferior wiring shape and inter-wiring shirt-circuit. After a titanium/titanium nitride film is formed along an inner surface of the contact hole, a photo-resist film is applied. Then, the photo-resist film is etched away until a distance from an upper end of the contact hole to the surface of photo-resist film is not smaller than one-half of a width of the contact hole when the titanium/titanium nitride film is formed. After the titanium/titanium nitride film is etched by using the photo-resist as a mask, the photo-resist film is removed and a tungsten layer is selectively grown by using the titanium/titanium nitride film as a seed.
