Abstract

A fabricating method of a multi-level wiring structure for a semiconductor device that improves the resolution of photoresist film pattern by reducing a photoresist film and is capable of fabricating a semiconductor device of a high reliability by using an improved via hole mask includes the steps of sequentially forming a first insulating film, a first etching stop film, a second insulating film and a second etching stop film on a lower conductive layer pattern, forming a trench by etching the second etching stop film, the second insulating film and the first etching stop film which corresponds to an upper conductive layer pattern, forming a photoresist film on an entire upper surface of the resultant semiconductor substrate so that a thin photoresist film at about 1000-3000 .ANG. is formed on the second etching stop film, forming an opening on a predetermined portion of the trench by performing a photolithography, forming a via hole by etching the first insulating film through the opening, and filling a conductive material in the via hole and the trench.
