Abstract

A method for forming a metallization contact in a semiconductor device includes the steps of: (a) forming an insulating layer on a semiconductor substrate including an active device region; (b) forming a contact hole to expose a portion of the active device region by etching a portion of the insulating layer; (c) forming a CVD TiN layer on the insulating layer and inside the contact hole; (d) forming a PVD TiN layer on the CVD TiN layer using ionized metal plasma sputtering; and (e) forming a metal layer on the PVD TiN layer.

Claims (9)

1. A method for forming a metallization contact in a semiconductor device, comprising the steps of:

(a) forming an insulating layer over a semiconductor substrate including an active device region;

(b) forming a contact hole to expose a portion of the active device region by etching a portion of the insulating layer;

(c) forming a CVD TiN layer directly on the insulating layer and inside the contact hole;

(d) forming a PVD TiN layer on the CVD TiN layer using ionized metal plasma sputtering; and

(e) forming a metal layer on the PVD TiN layer.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein forming the CVD TiN layer comprises forming the CVD TiN layer to have a thickness of 40˜50 Å on a sidewall of the contact hole.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein forming the metal layer comprises forming the metal layer from tungsten.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein forming the PVD TiN layer comprises forming the PVD TiN layer to have a thickness of 10˜20 Å on a side wall of the contact hole.
