Abstract

Provided is a metal interconnection structure of a semiconductor device, including a first metal film pattern disposed on an upper part of an insulation film of a semiconductor substrate; an intermetallic dielectric film having a metal contact plug in which a barrier layer, a metal film for contact plug and a second metal film are sequentially disposed, on the first metal film pattern; and a second metal film pattern disposed on the metal contact plug and intermetallic dielectric film and connected to the metal contact plug.

Claims (11)

1. A metal interconnection structure of a semiconductor device having a low resistance, comprising:

a first metal film pattern disposed on an upper part of an insulation film of a semiconductor substrate;

an intermetallic dielectric film disposed on the first metal film pattern and the insulation film, and having a via-hole exposing an upper surface of the first metal film pattern;

a metal barrier layer disposed on side walls and a lower surface of the via-hole;

a first metal contact plug disposed on a lower part of the via-hole such that the first metal contact plug connects the upper surface of the first metal film pattern through the metal barrier layer, and made of a metal film having a first specific resistance;

a second metal contact plug disposed on the upper part of the first metal contact plug while filling the upper part of the via-hole, and made of a metal film having a second specific resistance lower than the first specific resistance; and

a second metal film pattern disposed on the second metal contact plug and intermetallic dielectric film.

2. The metal interconnection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first metal contact plug is disposed within 65% of the height of the via-hole from the lower part thereof.

3. The metal interconnection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first metal contact plug is formed of a tungsten film, and the second metal contact plug is formed of an aluminum film.

4. The metal interconnection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the second metal film pattern is the same metal film as the second metal contact plug.

5. The metal interconnection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the second metal film pattern is formed of an aluminum film or a copper film.
