Claims
- 1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising:a compound film αγx made of at least one element α selected from metal elements and at least one element γ selected from the group consisting of boron, carbon, and nitrogen on a base layer containing oxygen (O); and forming a compound film αγyOz by causing said compound film αγx to reduce said base layer and thereby oxidizing said compound film αγx on an interface of said first compound film αγx and said base layer, wherein each of x and y is a ratio of the number of atoms of said element γ relative to the number of atoms of said element α, γ being greater than zero, and z is a ratio of the number of atoms of said oxygen relative to the number of atoms of said element α.
- 2. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 1, wherein said base layer is a dielectric film layer.
- 3. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 1, wherein said base layer is a metal interconnection layer.
- 4. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising:forming a groove on a surface of a base layer containing oxygen (O); forming a first compound film αγx made of at least one element α selected from metal elements and at least one element γ selected from the group consisting of boron, carbon, and nitrogen along an inner surface of said groove, wherein x is a ratio of the number of atoms of said element γ relative to the number of atoms of said element α; forming a second compound film αγyOz by causing said first compound film αγx to reduce said base layer and thereby oxidizing said first compound film αγx on an interface of said first compound film αγx and said base layer, wherein y is a ratio of the number of atoms of said element γ relative to the number of atoms of said element α, and z is a ratio of the number of atoms of said oxygen relative to the number of atoms of said element α; filling a metal layer in said groove via said first compound film αγx and said second compound film αγyOz, such that a top surface of said metal layer is made lower than said surface of said base layer; oxidizing said top surface of said metal layer to form an oxide layer; forming a third compound film δθu made of at least one element δ selected from metal elements and at least one element θ being nitrogen on said oxide layer, wherein u is a ratio of the number of atoms of said element θ relative to the number of atoms of said element δ; and forming a fourth compound film δθvOw by causing said third compound film δθu to reduce said oxide layer and thereby oxidizing said third compound film δθu on an interface of said third compound film δθu and said oxide layer, wherein v is a ratio of the number of atoms of said element θ relative to the number of atoms of said element δ, and w is a ratio of the number of atoms of said oxygen relative to the number of atoms of said element δ.
- 5. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 4, further comprising flattening said third compound film δθu to be flush with said surface of said base layer, after forming said fourth compound film δθvOw.
- 6. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising:forming a groove on a surface of a base layer containing oxygen (O); filling a metal layer in said groove such that a top surface of said metal layer is made lower than said surface of said base layer; oxidizing said top surface of said metal layer to form an oxide layer; forming a first compound film δθu made of at least one element δ selected from metal element and at least one element θ being nitrogen on said oxide layer, wherein u is a ratio of the number of atoms of said element θ relative to the number of atoms of said element δ; and forming a second compound film δθvOw by causing said first compound film δθu to reduce said oxide layer and thereby oxidizing said first compound film δθu on an interface of said first compound film δθu and said oxide layer, wherein v is a ratio of the number of atoms of said element θ relative to the number of atoms of said element δ, and w is a ratio of the number of atoms of said oxygen relative to the number of atoms of said element δ.
- 7. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 6, further comprising flattening said first compound film δθu to be flush with said surface of said base layer, after forming said second compound film δθvOw.
