Abstract

Methods of forming a semiconductor device that includes a diffusion barrier film are provided. The diffusion barrier film includes a metal nitride formed by using a MOCVD process and partially treated with a plasma treatment. Thus, a specific resistance of the diffusion barrier film can be decreased, and the diffusion barrier film may have distinguished barrier characteristics.
