ABSTRACT:
A method of forming a metal line in a semiconductor device using a fluorine doped silica glass (FSG) insulation layer. The method includes forming a lower metal layer on a insulation layer on a semiconductor substrate, forming a metal oxide layer on a sidewall of the lower metal layer, forming a barrier insulation layer covering the lower metal layer and metal oxide layer, forming an FSG insulation layer on the barrier insulation layer, forming a via contact that penetrates the FSG insulation layer so as to connect to the lower metal layer, and forming an upper metal layer electrically connected to the via contact.
