Abstract:
Performance of a semiconductor device is improved. In one embodiment, for example, deposition time is increased from 4.6 sec to 6.9 sec. In other words, in one embodiment, thickness of a tantalum nitride film is increased by increasing the deposition time. Specifically, in one embodiment, deposition time is increased such that a tantalum nitride film provided on the bottom of a connection hole to be coupled to a wide interconnection has a thickness within a range from 5 to 10 nm.

Claim (Index 28):
The semiconductor device according to  claim 20 , wherein resistivity of the first tantalum film positioned at the bottom of the first connection hole is lower than resistivity of the second tantalum film positioned at the bottom of the second connection hole.
