| 1. A semiconductor device comprising:
a lower interconnect formed over a semiconductor substrate;
an insulating film formed on the lower interconnect; a via hole penetrating the insulating film to reach the lower interconnect;
a first barrier film covering bottom and side surfaces of the via hole; and
a metal film filling the via hole covered with the first barrier film,
wherein a portion of the first barrier film covering a region of the side surface of the via hole located below an interface
between the insulating film and the lower interconnect is thicker than a portion of the first barrier film covering the bottom
surface of the via hole.
