A semiconductor device includes a substrate including an active pattern, a first interlayer dielectric layer on the substrate, the first interlayer dielectric layer including a recess on an upper portion thereof, and a lower connection line in the first interlayer dielectric layer, the lower connection line being electrically connected to the active pattern, and the lower connection line including a conductive pattern, the recess of the first interlayer dielectric layer selectively exposing a top surface of the conductive pattern, and a barrier pattern between the conductive pattern and the first interlayer dielectric layer, the first interlayer dielectric layer covering a top surface of the barrier pattern.

Semiconductor device and method of manufacturing the same

Integrated circuit devices and methods of forming the same are provided. The methods of forming an integrated circuit device may include forming a first insulating layer and a via contact on a substrate. The substrate may include an upper surface facing the via contact, and the via contact may be in the first insulating layer and may include a lower surface facing the substrate and an upper surface opposite to the lower surface. The methods may also include forming a second insulating layer and a metallic wire on the via contact. The metallic wire may be in the second insulating layer and may include a lower surface that faces the substrate and contacts the upper surface of the via contact. Both the lower surface of the metallic wire and an interface between the metallic wire and the via contact may have a first width in a horizontal direction that is parallel to the upper surface of the substrate.
