ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a semiconductor substrate on which a plurality of transistors are defined; forming a wiring pattern over the transistors, the wiring pattern contacting at least one transistor; depositing a first oxide film over the wiring pattern; defining a first contact hole on the oxide film, the first contacting hole exposing the wiring pattern; forming a lower metal layer having a first barrier metal layer, a first metal layer and a second barrier metal layer over the oxide film, the lower metal layer filling the first contact hole; forming a contact hole stop conduction layer over the lower metal layer; depositing a second oxide film over the contact hole stop conduction layer; etching a selected portion of the second oxide film to form a hole exposing the contact hole stop conduction layer; etching the exposed contact hole stop layer to define a second contact hole; forming a contact plug within the second contact hole, the contact plug contacting the lower metal layer; and forming an upper metal layer including a third barrier metal layer and a second metal layer, the upper metal layer contacting the contact plug.
