To provide a method of forming a capping layer on a copper wiring free from damaging surrounding dielectric materials.
This method for forming the capping layer 6 including Cu, N, and Si and/or Ge onto a copper conductive structure 2, includes steps of: forming at least one capping layer onto the copper conductive structure 2 by exposing the structure to a GeH4 and/or SiH4-containing atmosphere 3 at a temperature range from 200 to 400C; performing NH3 plasma processing 5 to form an at least partly nitrided capping layer 6; forming a dielectric barrier layer 7 onto the at least partly nitrided capping layer 6; and pre-annealing the copper conductive structure prior to the step of forming the at least one capping layer in a temperature range from 250 to 450C.
