Abstract

A method of forming a barrier metal in a semiconductor device. The present invention includes forming an insulating layer on a substrate having a lower metal line formed thereon, forming an opening exposing the lower metal line through the insulating layer, and forming a barrier metal layer on a sidewall of the opening and the insulating layer except the lower metal line by applying a positive voltage to the substrate.
