Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform a stereoscopic wiring structure using high melting point metal without increasing a wiring resistance between upper and lower layer semiconductors by using the high melting point metal in the connection between the wiring layers of the upper and lower layers and forming the connector of the metal with the layers of the nitride of the metal. CONSTITUTION:A diffused layer 12 is selectively formed on the surface of a silicon substrate 11. A silicon layer 17 is formed through a silicon oxide film 13 on the substrate 11, and a diffused layer 18 is formed at part of the layer 17. A sandwich structure of a high melting point metal film 15 and high melting point metal nitride films 14, 16 is used for the connection of the layers 12, 18. Thus, the sandwich structure that the film 15 is interposed between the films 14 and 16 is used in the connection between the layers 12 and 18 of upper and lower silicon layer to prevent the silicide of the film 14. Further, since the contacting resistance of the nitride films with the silicon is low, the wiring resistance can be reduced.
