Method of producing semiconductor device

A method produces a semiconductor device having an interconnection structure disposed above a substrate, wherein the interconnection structure has an interconnection and an insulator layer including a low-permittivity layer. The method includes an etching step forming openings in the insulator layer to expose a surface of the interconnection by dry etching, a cleaning step cleaning the surface of the interconnection and the openings in the insulator layer, and a forming step forming another interconnection by filling a conductor material into the openings. The cleaning step includes a first cleaning process using a cleaning liquid, a rinsing process using a rinsing liquid including water and carbonic acid or organic acid, and a second cleaning process using a neutral or alkaline hydrogen aqueous solution that is supplied to the surface of the interconnection and the openings in the insulator layer.
