Abstract
Disclosed is a method for forming a via-hole for interconnection of metallization and/or metal wires in a semiconductor device. The present method may include the steps of: (a) forming an insulating layer on a semiconductor substrate including a lower metallization and/or metal wiring; (b) forming a mask (e.g., a photo-resist pattern) on the insulating layer; (c) dry etching the insulating layer using the photo-resist pattern as a mask to form a via-hole in the insulating layer; and (d) in the same dry etching chamber, etching a top portion of the insulating layer in the vicinity of the via-hole with an etchant comprising oxygen and argon.
