According to example embodiments, a method of forming micropatterns includes forming dummy patterns having first widths on a dummy region of a substrate, and forming cell patterns having second widths on an active line region of the substrate. The active line region may be adjacent to the dummy region and the second widths may be less than the first widths. The method may further include forming damascene metallization by forming a seed layer on the active line region and the dummy region, forming a conductive material layer on a whole surface of the substrate, and planarizing the conductive material layer to form metal lines.

In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a substrate is loaded to a process chamber having, unit process sections in which unit processes are performed, respectively. The unit processes are performed on the substrate independently from one another at the unit process sections under a respective process pressure. The substrate sequentially undergoes the unit processes at the respective unit process section of the process chamber. Cleaning processes are individually performed to the unit process sections, respectively, when the substrate is transferred from each of the unit process sections and no substrate is positioned at the unit process sections. Accordingly, the process defects of the process units may be sufficiently prevented and the operation period of the manufacturing apparatus is sufficiently elongated.

A semiconductor device can include an insulation layer on that is on a substrate on which a plurality of lower conductive structures are formed, where the insulation layer has an opening. A barrier layer is on a sidewall and a bottom of the opening of the insulation layer, where the barrier layer includes a first barrier layer in which a constituent of a first deoxidizing material is richer than a metal material in the first barrier layer and a second barrier layer in which a metal material in the second barrier layer is richer than a constituent of a second deoxidizing material. An interconnection is in the opening of which the sidewall and the bottom are covered with the barrier layer, the interconnection is electrically connected to the lower conductive structure.

A structure and formation method for electrically connecting aluminum and copper interconnections stabilize a semiconductor metallization process using an inner shape electrically connecting the aluminum and copper interconnections. To this end, a copper interconnection is disposed on a semiconductor substrate. An interconnection induction layer and an interconnection insertion layer are sequentially formed on the copper interconnection to have a contact hole exposing the copper interconnection. An upper diameter of the contact hole may be formed to be larger than a lower diameter thereof. A barrier layer and an aluminum interconnection are filled in the contact hole. The aluminum interconnection is formed not to directly contact the copper interconnection through the contact hole.

In a method of manufacturing a metal wiring structure, a first metal wiring and a first barrier layer are formed on a substrate, and the first barrier layer is nitridated. An insulating interlayer is formed on the substrate so as to extend over the first metal wiring and the first barrier layer. Part of the insulating interlayer is removed to form a hole exposing at least part of the first metal wiring and part of the first barrier layer. A nitidation plasma treatment is performed on the exposed portion of the first barrier layer. A second barrier layer is formed along the bottom and sides of the hole. A plug is formed on the second barrier layer to fill the hole.

A fuse base insulating region, for example, an insulating interlayer or a compensation region disposed in an insulating interlayer, is formed on a substrate. An etch stop layer is formed on the fuse base insulating region and forming an insulating interlayer having a lower dielectric constant than the first fuse base insulating region on the etch stop layer. A trench extending through the insulating interlayer and the etch stop layer and at least partially into the fuse base insulating region is formed. A fuse is formed in the trench. The fuse base insulating region may have a greater mechanical strength and/or density than the second insulating interlayer.
