ABSTRACT:
A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes the steps of forming an inter-layer insulating film, forming a contact hole in the inter-layer insulating film, forming a thin conductive film filling the contact hole and covering the inter-layer insulating film, and forming a contact plug filling the contact hole by etching the thin conductive film and thus exposing the surface of the inter-layer insulating film. The etching is conducted such that, from the time when a surface of the inter-layer insulating film is about to be exposed, the thin conductive film and the inter-layer insulating film are etched under substantially the same etching speed. Plug loss in the contact hole is suppressed so that wiring breakage in the contact hole can be prevented.
