    Abstract: Methods of forming metal interconnect structures include forming a first electrically insulating layer on a semiconductor substrate and forming a second electrically insulating layer on the first electrically insulating layer. The second and first electrically insulating layers are selectively etched in sequence to define a contact hole therein. A first metal layer (e.g., tungsten) is deposited. This first metal layer extends on the second electrically insulating layer and into the contact hole. The first metal layer is then patterned to expose the second electrically insulating layer. The second electrically insulating layer is selectively etched for a sufficient duration to expose the first electrically insulating layer and expose a metal plug within the contact hole. This selective etching step is performed using the patterned first metal layer as an etching mask. A seam within the exposed metal plug is then filled with an electrically conductive filler material (e.g., CoWP). A second metal layer is then formed on the exposed metal plug containing the electrically conductive filler material.

    Abstract: Provided are a dual damascene interconnection with a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor and a method of fabricating the same. In this structure, an MIM capacitor is formed on a via-level IMD. After the via-level IMD is formed, while an alignment key used for patterning the MIM capacitor is being formed, a via hole is formed to connect a lower electrode of the MIM capacitor and an interconnection disposed under the via-level IMD. Also, an upper electrode of the MIM capacitor is directly connected to an upper metal interconnection during a dual damascene process.

    Abstract: A dual damascene process is disclosed. According to the dual damascene process of the present invention, a first recessed region through an intermetal dielectric layer is filled with a bottom protecting layer, and the bottom protecting layer and the intermetal dielectric layer are simultaneously etched to form a second recessed region that has a shallower depth and wider width than the first recessed region on the first recessed region by using an etch gas selectively etches the intermetal dielectric layer with respect to the bottom protecting layer. In other words, the etch selectivity ratio, the intermetal dielectric layer with respect to the bottom protecting layer, is preferably about 0.5 to about 1.5. Thus, it is possible to form a dual damascene structure without the formation of a byproduct or an oxide fence.
