Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for forming an interlayer dielectric pattern is provided to be capable of finely forming an opening portion and securing the vertical profile of the opening portion by using a spacer as an etching mask and using an organic polymer layer as the interlayer dielectric. CONSTITUTION: After forming a conductive layer pattern(110) at the upper portion of a semiconductor substrate, an interlayer dielectric and a hard mask layer are sequentially deposited on the entire surface of the resultant structure. Then, a hard mask pattern having the first opening portion(171) is formed by selectively patterning the hard mask layer for exposing the upper surface of the interlayer dielectric. A spacer(190) is formed at both sidewalls of the first opening portion. The upper surface of the conductive layer pattern is exposed by selectively etching the resultant structure using the spacer as an etching mask. Preferably, the interlayer dielectric is made of at least one selected from a group consisting of an organic polymer layer, a fluorine doped oxide layer, a carbon doped oxide layer, and a silicon oxide layer.

Abstract:
A method of forming an interconnection line in a semiconductor device is provided. A first etching stopper is formed on a lower conductive layer which is formed on a semiconductor substrate. A first interlayer insulating layer is formed on the first etching stopper. A second etching stopper is formed on the first interlayer insulating layer. A second interlayer insulating layer is formed on the second etching stopper. The second interlayer insulating layer, the second etching stopper, and the first interlayer insulating layer are sequentially etched using the first etching stopper as an etching stopping point to form a via hole aligned with the lower conductive layer. A protective layer is formed to protect a portion of the first etching stopper exposed at the bottom of the via hole. A portion of the second interlayer insulating layer adjacent to the via hole is etched using the second etching stopper as an etching stopping point to form a trench connected to the via hole. The protective layer is removed. The portion of the first etching stopper positioned at the bottom of the via hole is removed. An upper conductive layer that fills the via hole and the trench and is electrically connected to the lower conductive layer is formed.
