ABSTRACT:
A method of forming metal wirings for a semiconductor device. A first etch stop layer, an dielectric layer, a second etch stop layer, and a wiring layer are deposited on a semiconductor substrate. A hole is formed by etching the wiring layer, the first etch stop layer, and the dielectric layer. A trench is formed by etching the wiring layer. The exposed first and second etch stop layers are removed after removal of the trench pattern. A barrier metal layer is deposited on inner walls of the hole and the trench. Grooves are formed on the barrier metal layer. A metal seed layer is deposited on the barrier metal layer. A metal thin layer is deposited inside the hole and the trench. The metal thin layer, the metal seed layer, and the barrier metal layer on the wiring layer are removed.
