A method of fabricating a via and an interconnection. On a substrate comprising a semiconductor device and a first metal layer, a first inter-metal dielectric layer is formed on the first metal layer. A photo-resist layer is formed on the first inter-metal dielectric layer. A single step of photolithography is performed to define a via hole region, an interconnection window region, and an isolation region simultaneously. The first inter-metal dielectric layer is etched using the photo-resist layer as a mask, to form a via hole and an interconnection window simultaneously. The photo-resist layer is removed and the via hole and the interconnection window are filled with a second metal layer. The second metal layer is etched until the inter-metal dielectric layer under the isolation region is exposed. A second inter-metal dielectric layer is formed.
