Abstract
A metal wire and a method for forming a metal wire of a semiconductor device, including the steps of forming an insulating layer and first etch-stop layer on a substrate forming a first trench having sidewalls and a bottom by selectively removing portions of said first etch-stop layer forming a second etch-stop layer on the insulating layer, including the first trench, and first-etch stop layer etching back said second etch-stop layer from within the trench to form a mask from said first and second etch-layers exposing a portion of the trench bottom, wherein the width of the mask has a width of less than the width of the trench bottom etching the insulating layer using said first and second etch-stop layers mask to form a second trench extending through the insulating layer for holding a contact plug removing said first and second etch-stop layers and forming a contact plug and conductive layer in said first and second trenches.
