ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device may include the following. A diffusion barrier formed over a semiconductor substrate having a conductive layer. An etching stop layer formed over a diffusion barrier. Inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layers (e.g. having via holes formed over an etching stop layer and trenches wider than the via holes). Metal interconnections that fill via holes and trenches. Via holes in IMD layers may pass through a diffusion barrier and an etching stop layer to connect to a conductive layer in a semiconductor substrate.
