ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device including a semiconductor substrate; a first insulating film formed on the semiconductor substrate including a contact hole opened therethrough; a lower plug filled in the contact hole having a recess defined in an upper portion thereof; a second insulating film including a via hole opened therethrough; a third insulating film formed on an inner surface of the via hole and extending in a predetermined depth from an upper edge of the via hole so as to reduce a cross sectional area thereof; and an upper plug filled in the via hole that has a protrusion formed on a lower portion thereof that conforms to the recess to electrically connect the upper and the lower plug.
