Method for forming a metal interconnection layer of a semiconductor device using a modified dual damascene process

摘要

A method for forming a metal interconnection layer of a semiconductor device comprises forming a film including a material selective to a medium used in an ashing process on an interlayer insulating film. The method comprises transforming the film during the ashing process to form an interconnection pattern having a dual damascene structure. A dielectric material such as copper is deposited on the interconnection pattern, which is planarized through CMP, thereby forming a via contact having a single damascene structure without a recess therein.
