Abstract
A method for forming a metal line of a semiconductor device includes forming an interlayer insulation film over a semiconductor substrate, forming a trench for exposing at least a portion of the semiconductor substrate by using a selective etching process, and forming a diffusion barrier layer over the interlayer film and the inner walls of the trench, by using a plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition process in which a high frequency power generator is set to have a frequency of 13.56 MHz. The plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition process is performed with a base pressure in a chamber maintained at 1×10to 3×10torr.
