Abstract

See full text

A method for forming a lamination structure of a tantalum nitride film and a tantalum thin film free of nitrogen overlying the tantalum nitride film, which have reduced resistivities, wherein a gas pressure during sputtering for growing the tantalum nitride film is limited to a predetermined value not more than about 0.5 pa so that the tantalum nitride film has a hexagonal crystal structure and the tantalum thin film free of nitrogen has a BCC structure with lattice spacing close to that of the tantalum nitride film hexagonal crystal structure.
