Abstract
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device may include: forming an opening in a dielectric layer, the opening exposing a non-conductive layer disposed over a semiconductor substrate; forming a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) within the opening and over the non-conductive layer; forming a catalytic layer within the opening and over the SAM; filling the opening having the SAM and the catalytic layer with a conductive material to form a plug; and forming a barrier layer on sidewalls of the plug.
