Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A trench is formed in an insulating film, carbon is formed on the insulating film to fill an inside of the trench, a catalytic material is formed on the carbon, heat treatment is performed on the carbon to turn the carbon into graphenes which are stacked in a plurality of layers, and the catalytic material and a part of the graphenes on the insulating film are removed to make the graphenes remain only in the trench.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A manufacturing method of a wiring structure, comprising: forming a trench in an insulating film; forming carbon on the insulating film to fill an inside of the trench; forming a catalytic material on the carbon; performing heat treatment on the carbon to turn the carbon into graphenes which are stacked in a plurality of layers; and removing the catalytic material and a part of the graphenes on the insulating film, to make the graphenes remain only in the trench. 2 . The manufacturing method of the wiring structure according to claim 1 , wherein the inside of the trench of the insulating film is directly filled with the graphenes. 3 . The manufacturing method of the wiring structure according to claim 1 , wherein the trench is a connection hole or a wiring trench. 4 . The manufacturing method of the wiring structure according to claim 1 , wherein the trench is made of a connection hole and a wiring trench which are integrally formed. 5 . The manufacturing method of the wiring structure according to claim 1 , wherein the graphenes are subjected to intercalation or doping using molecules of a different kind. 6 . The manufacturing method of the wiring structure according to claim 1 , wherein the catalytic material is formed to have a thickness in a range from a thickness equivalent to a thickness of the carbon to a thickness which is twice the thickness of the carbon. 7 . A wiring structure, comprising: an insulating film in which a trench is formed; and a conductive material which fills an inside of the trench, wherein the conductive material is made of stacked plural layers of graphenes formed in a direction along a bottom surface of the trench. 8 . The wiring structure according to claim 7 , wherein the inside of the trench of the insulating film is directly filled with the graphenes. 9 . The wiring structure according to claim 7 , wherein the trench is a connection hole or a wiring trench. 10 . The wiring structure according to claim 7 , wherein the trench is made of a connection hole and a wiring trench which are integrally formed. 11 . The wiring structure according to claim 7 , wherein the graphenes are subjected to intercalation or doping using molecules of a different kind.
