Abstract
A semiconductor device and a fabrication method thereof provides a plug structure composed of a diffusion barrier layer formed at the bottom and on the sides of a contact hole and an oxidation barrier layer formed on the diffusion barrier layer that fills up the inside of the contact hole. This invention prevents contact resistance of a bottom electrode and a plug from increasing as well as implementing high-speed operation and improving the reliability of the semiconductor device.
