Abstract
A method of forming a metal interconnection includes the steps of forming a first conductive layer on a substrate, and forming an insulating layer on the first conductive layer and on the substrate. A contact hole is formed in the insulating layer thereby exposing a portion of the first conductive layer, a barrier layer is formed on the exposed portion of the first conductive layer in the contact hole, and a thermal treatment is performed on the barrier layer. After the step of performing the thermal treatment, a wetting layer is formed on a sidewall of the contact hole, and a second conductive layer is formed on the barrier layer and on the wetting layer in the contact hole.
