Abstract

Methods of manufacturing an integrated circuit device are provided. A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit device includes sequentially forming a device layer, a wiring insulating layer, and a hard mask layer on a semiconductor substrate. The method includes sequentially removing a first region and a second region of the hard mask layer by using a first mask layer having a first opening and a second mask layer having a second opening as an etch mask, respectively. The method includes forming a first wiring recess through the wiring insulating layer and a second wiring recess having a depth that is less than that of the first wiring recess by removing a portion of the wiring insulation layer by using a portion of the hard mask layer as an etching mask. Moreover, the method includes forming a wiring structure that is in the first wiring recess and the second wiring recess.
