To prevent oxygen atoms, etc., from being diffused into a copper film for wiring from an adjacent layer, by using WNx or WSiNx as the barrier metal of a semiconductor integrated circuit.
Lower-layer wiring 4 composed of a thin metallic copper film is formed on the surface of a substrate 2, such as the semiconductor wafer, etc., and the periphery of the wiring 4 is formed of an Sin2 insulating film 6. Then an SiO2 interlayer insulating film 8 is formed so as to cover the insulating film 6 and lower-layer wiring 4 and a via hole 10 is formed through the insulating film 8 so that part of the wiring 4 may be exposed. At the same time, a wiring groove 12 is formed above the via hole 10 and a thin barrier metal composed of WNx (tungsten nitride) or WSiNx (tungsten silicide nitride) is formed on the internal surfaces of the via hole 10 and the wiring groove 12.
