Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is disclosed. The method includes forming a first insulting layer on a substrate, forming a first conductor pattern in the first insulating layer, forming a second insulating layer on the first insulating layer, and forming a second wiring pattern and a contact via in the second insulating layer, wherein a top surface of the first insulating layer is higher than a top surface of the first conductor pattern.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method comprising:\n forming a first insulating interlayer on a substrate, the first insulating interlayer containing lower wirings of which upper surfaces are exposed; removing upper portions of the lower wirings; sequentially forming a first etch stop layer and a second insulating interlayer on the lower wirings and the first insulating interlayer; forming a trench and first and second via holes, the trench extending through an upper portion of the second insulating interlayer, the first via hole extending through a lower portion of the second insulating interlayer and a portion of the first etch stop layer to be connected to the trench, and the second via hole extending through an upper portion of the first insulating interlayer to expose a first wiring of the lower wirings and to be connected to the first via hole; and forming an upper wiring and a via, the upper wiring filling the trench, and the via filling the first and second via holes.
