ABSTRACT:
A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming an inter-layer insulation layer on a substrate; forming openings in the inter-layer insulation layer; forming a metal barrier layer in the openings and on the inter-layer insulation layer; forming a first conductive layer on the metal barrier layer and filled in the openings; etching the first conductive layer to form interconnection layers in the openings and to expose portions of the metal barrier layer, the interconnection layers being inside the openings and at a depth from a top of the openings; etching the exposed portions of the metal barrier layer to obtain a sloped profile of the metal barrier layer at top lateral portions of the openings; forming a second conductive layer over the inter-layer insulation layer, the interconnection layers and the metal barrier layer with the sloped profile; and patterning the second conductive layer to form metal lines.
