To provide a method of microfabricating trench wiring of 0.1μm generation or beyond, with which the load on a polishing process is reduced by forming trench wiring of copper by an etching method using an etching liquid which prevents galvanic corrosion of a barrier layer baser than copper and which does not corrode copper.
The method of fabricating semiconductor devices is furnished with a process of removing copper by an etching method using an etching liquid, which is an aqueous solution of hydrofluoric acid containing an anticorrosive (BTA-based anticorrosive) for copper. The method comprises a step of polishing excessive copper and a barrier layer formed on an insulating film after copper is deposited via the barrier layer composed of a metal or a metal compound that is baser than copper so as to fill a wiring trench formed in an insulating film, and a step of removing a faulty insulation layer mainly composed of the barrier layer remaining on the insulating film with a surface layer of the insulating film by etching the surface layer of the insulating film using the etching liquid.
