Abstract:
1. A fabrication method of a semiconductor device, said semiconductor device having a first interconnection, a via-plug that is connected to said first interconnection, and a second interconnection that is connected to said via-plug; said fabrication method comprising the steps of: successively forming on said first interconnection: a first metal diffusion prevention film, an interlayer dielectric film, an etching stopper film, and an intralayer dielectric film; using a lithographic process and an etching process to form a first opening in a prescribed opening pattern in said interlayer dielectric film, said etching stopper film, and said intralayer dielectric film; applying an antireflective coating for preventing a reflection of light by said first interconnection, and forming a second opening in said first opening in which said antireflective coating is buried such that a position of an upper surface of said antireflective coating is lower than a lower surface of said etching stopper film; forming a resist film having a prescribed pattern of trench openings in said intralayer dielectric film; performing etching with said resist film as a mask to form a trench opening in said intralayer dielectric film while said antireflective coating remains at a bottom of said first opening after said etching such that said antireflective coating covers sidewalls of said first opening only to a level of the upper surface of said antireflective coating, and forming sidewalls of said interlayer dielectric film of said second opening such that a diameter of said second opening is progressively larger from a bottom toward a top of said second opening by etching said interlayer dielectric film with said antireflective coating remaining at the bottom of said first opening as a mask; removing said resist film and said antireflective coating; etching from the trench opening that has been formed in said intralayer dielectric film to remove said etching stopper film and said first metal diffusion prevention film that have been exposed on upper surfaces and forming a via-hole that includes said second opening and the trench opening of said second interconnection; and embedding a metal in said via-hole and the trench opening of said second interconnection to form said via-plug and said second interconnection, and then forming a second metal diffusion prevention film.
