Semiconductor devices includes a first interlayer insulating layer, a lower interconnection line in the first interlayer insulating layer, an etch stop layer on the first interlayer insulating layer and the lower interconnection line, a second interlayer insulating layer on the etch stop layer, and an upper interconnection line in the second interlayer insulating layer. The upper interconnection line includes a via portion extending through the etch stop layer and contacting the lower interconnection line. The via portion includes a barrier pattern and a conductive pattern. The barrier pattern includes a first barrier layer between the conductive pattern and the second interlayer insulating layer, and a second barrier layer between the conductive pattern and the lower interconnection line. A resistivity of the first barrier layer is greater than that of the second barrier layer. A nitrogen concentration of the first barrier layer is greater than that of the second barrier layer.

Semiconductor devices and methods for manufacturing the same

A method of manufacturing the semiconductor device includes providing a first interlayer dielectric layer having a conductive pattern, sequentially forming a first etch stop layer, a second etch stop layer, a second interlayer dielectric layer and a mask pattern on the first interlayer dielectric layer, forming an opening in the second interlayer dielectric layer using the mask pattern as a mask, the opening exposing the second etch stop layer, and performing an etching process including simultaneously removing the mask pattern and the second etch stop layer exposed by the opening to expose the first etch stop layer.
