Abstract

An improved dual damascene process is provided. By a spacer formed on sidewalls of an oxide layer, the method can make a via plug and a metal layer serving as an interconnect simultaneously form in a self-aligned process. Therefore, it can successfully avoid misalignment while forming a via plug and an interconnect.
