A structure and manufacturing process of a low dielectric constant interlayer insulating film used between wiring layers and semiconductor devices using such film are disclosed. The insulating film which can withstand in an actual process comprises an amorphous carbon fluoride film. A diamond like carbon film and a silicon excess layer are disposed on both sides of the amorphous carbon fluoride film to be inserted between the wiring layers, whereby adhesion to wiring and another insulating film contacting it is significantly enhanced. In addition, a silicon based insulating film is disposed and flattened on a multilayer film containing an amorphous carbon fluoride film buried with a wiring layer, and is used as a hard mask for anisotropically etching the diamond like carbon film and the amorphous carbon fluoride film with oxygen plasma to form a via hole.

A process of fabricating an asymmetrical LDD-MOSFET of the type in which a diffused low-doped layer is provided only on the drain side is disclosed. In a MOSFET-formed region, after forming a gate electrode, using a photoresist film covering one sidewall of the gate electrode and the vicinity thereof, ion implantation is performed to form a diffused lightly-doped layer and thereover a silicon dioxide film is selectively grown by the liquid phase deposition technique. In detail, immersion of a concerned wafer in a silicon dioxide-saturated hydrofluosilicic acid aqueous solution while adding boric acid to it brings about the separation and deposition of silicon dioxide film. No deposition onto the surface of the photoresist film takes place. In usual way proceeds formation of a spacer by anisotropic etching, followed by heavily doped source and drain regions. A reduced source parasitic resistance LDD-MOSFET can be easily fabricated.
