Methods of preventing oxidation of a copper interconnect of a semiconductor device are disclosed. An example method forms a lower copper interconnect on a substrate having at least one predetermined structure, deposits a nitride layer on the lower copper interconnect and on the substrate, and sequentially depositing a first insulating layer, an etch-stop layer, and a second insulating layer on the nitride layer. The example method also forms a trench and a via hole through the second insulating layer and the first insulating layer by using a dual damascene process, etches the nitride layer so as to expose some portion of the lower copper interconnect, and supplies combining gas onto the exposed portion of the lower copper interconnect.
