Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate that an etching residue for upper-layer interconnection formation use is produced at a stepped part by a method wherein the stepped part of an interlayer insulating film at the upper part of a lower-layer interconnection is filled with a photoresist and flattened. CONSTITUTION:An aluminum interconnection 3 as a lower-layer interconnection is formed on an oxide film 2 on a silicon substrate 1; a CVD nitride film 4 is applied; a through hole 6 is made on the aluminum interconnection 3 by using a patterned photoresist 5. Then, a titanium film 8 and a platinum film 9 are sputtered on the whole surface; the through hole 6 is plated with gold 11 via a photoresist 10; the platinum film 9 and the titanium film 8 are gas- etched. The stepped part of an interlayer insulating film at the upper-part of the lower-part interconnection is filled with the photoresist and flattened; it is eliminated that an etching residue is produced at the stepped part. Thereby, a defect by a short circuit is eliminated, and a fine gold interconnection can be formed.
