Abstract
An interconnection structure of a semiconductor device for electrically connecting a thin conductive layer and a metallization and the fabrication method thereof are disclosed. The interconnection structure includes a semiconductor substrate, an insulating layer coated on the substrate, a thick conductive layer formed on a certain portion of the insulating layer, a first interlaid insulating layer covering the thick conductive layer, a first contact hole formed within the first interlaid insulating layer on the thick conductive layer, a thin conductive layer consisting of vertical structure formed in the first contact hole and horizontal structure formed on the first interlaid insulating layer, a second interlaid insulating layer covering the thin conductive layer, a second contact hole formed within said first and second interlaid insulating layers and crossing the first contact hole, and a metallization filling the second contact hole and formed on the second interlaid insulating layer. Thus, the contact area between the metallization and thin conductive layer is increased, thereby allowing a reliable ohmic contact while directly connecting the thin conductive layer and metalliza…
