ABSTRACT:
A method for fabricating a semiconductor device is capable of preventing a hard mask layer of a conductive structure from being damaged during a self-aligned contact etching process. The method includes the steps of: forming a plurality of conductive structures including a conductive layer and a hard mask layer on a substrate; sequentially forming a first nitride layer, an oxide layer, a second nitride layer, and an etch stop layer on the plurality of conductive structures; forming an inter-layer insulation layer on the etch stop layer; and performing a self-aligned contact (SAC) etching process selectively etching the inter-layer insulation layer, the etch stop layer, the second nitride layer and the oxide layer until the SAC etching process is stopped at the first nitride layer to thereby form a contact hole exposing the first nitride layer.
