Method of forming wiring using a dual damascene process

摘要

A method of forming electric wiring using a dual damascene process wherein prevention of damage to a lower conductive pattern and low contact resistance may be achieved. A first insulation layer having a first trench filled with a conductive material is formed on a semiconductor substrate. A first etch stop layer, a second insulation layer and a third insulation layer are sequentially formed thereon. A capping layer is formed on the third insulation layer. A via hole is formed by selectively etching the capping layer, third insulation layer and second insulation layer. Then the capping layer is partially etched and a polymer layer is formed on the exposed first etch stop layer. A second trench is formed and the electric wiring is formed by filling a conductive material in a resulting structure. The polymer layer prevents damage to the conductive pattern by protecting the first etch stop layer.
