Abstract
A method of forming a metal line in a semiconductor device including forming a first insulation layer and a first etch stop layer on a conductive layer, and forming a first photosensitive layer pattern on the first etch stop layer; forming a first opening by etching the first etch stop layer; forming a second insulation layer and a second etch stop layer on the first insulation layer and the first etch stop layer, and forming a second photosensitive layer pattern on the second etch stop layer; forming a second opening by etching the second etch stop layer; simultaneously forming an inter-connection groove and a via hole by etching the first insulation layer and the second insulation layer using the second etch stop layer and the first etch stop layer as a mask; and forming a metal line by filling the inter-connection groove and the via hole with conductive materials.
