Abstract
A method for fabricating a multilayer semiconductor device according to the invention includes the steps of providing a conductive layer on a substrate; forming a barrier layer on the first conductive layer; forming an insulation layer on the barrier layer; selectively etching the insulation layer using the barrier layer as a stopper to form a through-hole; and selectively removing the barrier layer at the bottom of the through-hole from the conductive layer.
