Abstract

A method for the fabrication of semiconductor device includes the steps of forming a first wiring layer on an insulating film overlaying a semiconductor substrate, depositing an interlayer insulating film entirely on the first wiring layer, etching the interlayer insulating film selectively to form a contact hole exposing the first wiring layer therethrough, forming a metal film on the interlayer insulating film and in the contact hole, etching the metal film selectively to leave the metal film only around the contact hole, depositing a mid-insulating film on the remaining metal film and on the interlayer insulating film applying annealing to the metal film to form a metal plug in the contact hole, the metal film filling the contact hole, removing the mid-insulating film and forming a second wiring layer on the interlayer insulating film and on the metal plug.
