Abstract
A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes providing a substrate, and forming an interlayered insulating layer on the substrate. The method includes forming a preliminary via hole in the interlayered insulating layer. The method includes forming a passivation spacer on an inner side surface of the preliminary via hole. The method includes forming a via hole using the passivation spacer as an etch mask. The method includes forming a conductive via in the via hole. The passivation spacer includes an insulating material different from an insulating material included in the interlayered insulating layer.
