Method of forming a silicon oxide layer of a semiconductor device and method of forming a wiring having the same

Abstract

Disclosed are methods for forming a silicon oxide layer of a semiconductor device capable of insulating between fine conductive patterns without causing a process failure, and for forming a wiring having the silicon oxide layer. After forming conductive patterns on a semiconductor substrate, an anti-oxidation layer is sequentially formed on the conductive patterns and on the semiconductor substrate. The anti-oxidation layer prevents an oxidant from penetrating into the conductive patterns and the semiconductor substrate. A reflowable oxide layer is formed by coating a reflowable oxidizing material on the anti-oxidation layer while burying the conductive patterns. The silicon oxide layer is formed by thermally treating the reflowable oxide layer. Then, the silicon oxide layer filled between conductive patterns and the anti-oxidation layer exposed to the semiconductor substrate are etched so as to form a contact hole, thereby forming the wiring of the semiconductor device. Thus, a planar silicon oxide layer is formed between conductive patterns having a fine interval therebetween without creating a void. In addition, a metal layer pattern, which acts as a conductor in the conductive patterns, can be prevented from being oxidized when the silicon oxide layer is formed.
