Methods of forming a metal interconnects include forming an electrically insulating layer having a contact hole therein, on a substrate. A step is also performed to form an electrically conductive seed layer. The seed layer extends on a sidewall of the contact hole and on a portion of an upper surface of the electrically insulating layer extending adjacent the contact hole. The seed layer is sufficiently thick along an upper portion of the sidewall and sufficiently thin along a lower portion of the sidewall that an upper portion of the contact hole is partially constricted by the seed layer and a constricted contact hole is thereby defined. An anti-nucleation layer is deposited on a portion of the seed layer that extends outside the constricted contact hole. The constricted contact hole is used as a mask to inhibit deposition of the anti-nucleation layer adjacent a bottom of the constricted contact hole. A metal liner is then formed on a portion of the electrically conductive seed layer that defines a sidewall of the constricted contact hole. Next, a metal interconnect layer is reflowed into the constricted contact hole to thereby fill and bury the contact hole.

An aluminum wiring is selectively formed within a contact hole or groove of a substrate. An intermediate layer which includes nitrogen is formed over the main surface of a substrate and over the interior surface of the contact hole or groove. A first surface portion of the intermediate layer which is located over the main surface of the substrate is treated with a plasma to form a passivity layer at the first surface portion of the intermediate layer. Then, without an intervening vacuum break, an aluminum film is CAD deposited only over a second surface portion of the intermediate layer which is located over the interior surface of the contact hole or recess. The plasma treatment of the first surface portion of the intermediate layer prevents the CAD deposition of the aluminum film over the first surface portion of the intermediate layer.

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming switching devices on a substrate. A lower structure is formed in the substrate having the switching devices. A lower conductive layer is formed on the lower structure. Sacrificial mask patterns are formed on the lower conductive layer. Lower conductive patterns are formed by etching the lower conductive layer using the sacrificial mask patterns as an etch mask. An interlayer insulating layer is formed on the substrate having the lower conductive patterns. Interlayer insulating patterns are formed by planarizing the interlayer insulating layer until the sacrificial mask patterns are exposed. Openings exposing the lower conductive patterns are formed by removing the exposed sacrificial mask patterns. Upper conductive patterns self-aligned with the lower conductive patterns are formed in the openings.

Methods of forming a metal interconnection structure are provided. The methods include forming an insulating layer on a semiconductor substrate including a first metal interconnection. The insulating layer is patterned to form an opening that exposes the first metal interconnection. A first diffusion barrier layer is formed on the exposed first metal interconnection. After forming the first diffusion barrier layer, a second diffusion barrier layer is formed on the first diffusion barrier layer in the opening, the second diffusion barrier layer contacting a sidewall of the opening. A second metal interconnection is formed on the second diffusion barrier layer.

In a method of forming a contact in a semiconductor device, an insulating layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate. Then, a contact hole is formed by selectively etching the insulating layer. A barrier metal layer is deposited on side and bottom surfaces of the contact hole and on a top surface of the insulating layer to a uniform thickness. A wetting layer of an oxidation-resistive metal material is deposited on the barrier metal layer. A metal layer is formed on the wetting layer and fills the contact hole to thereby form a contact in the semiconductor device.
