ABSTRACT:
An interlayer insulation layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate to cover a lower wiring layer that is also formed on the semiconductor substrate. A contact hole to expose a surface of the lower wiring layer is formed by etching the interlayer insulation film. A wetting layer is formed on an inner wall of the contact hole. An anti-deposition layer is formed around an entrance of the contact hole to prevent an aluminum layer from being deposited around the entrance of the contact hole. The contact hole is filled with the aluminum layer.
