For the applications in the ultra-large-scale-integration (ULSI) metallization processing copper thin films have been prepared by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) technology on TiN/Si substrates. The films have been deposited with varying the experimental conditions of substrate temperatures and copper source vapor pressures. The films were then annealed in a vacuum condition after the deposition and the annealing effect to the electrical conductivity of the films was measured. The grain size and the crystallinity of the films were observed to be increased by the post annealing and the electrical conductivity was also increased. The best electrical property of the copper film was obtained by in-situ annealing treatment at above 40$0^{\circ}C$ for the sample prepared at 18$0^{\circ}C$ of the substrate temperature.
