ABSTRACT:
Methods of forming a metal contact structure include forming an interlayer insulating layer on a substrate, etching the interlayer insulating layer to form a hole, depositing a metal layer on the surface of the interlayer insulating layer including inside the hole, planarizing the metal layer to provide a buried portion of the metal layer in the hole and to remove portions of the metal layer outside of the hole, etching-back the buried portion of the metal layer in the hole such that some of the portion of the metal layer within the hole remains and depositing a conductive layer on the surface of the interlayer insulating layer and the portion of the metal layer that remains within the hole. Methods of forming a phase change memory device are also provided.
