Abstract
A method of manufacturing a metal line according to embodiments includes forming an interlayer dielectric layer over a semiconductor substrate. A dielectric layer is formed over the interlayer dielectric layer. A trench may be formed by etching the dielectric layer and the interlayer dielectric layer. A metal material may be disposed over the interlayer dielectric layer including the trench. A first planarization process may be performed on the metal material using the dielectric layer as an etch stop layer. A wet etch process may be performed on the semiconductor substrate subjected the first planarization process. A second planarization process may be performed on interlayer dielectric layer subjected to the wet etch process.
