A dual damascene method of forming a metal line of a semiconductor device
includes the procedures of: forming, partially annealing, etching, and
cleaning. The forming procedure includes forming an SOD (spin-on
dielectric) layer on an insulation layer having a contact hole to fill
the contact hole. The partially annealing procedure includes annealing
the SOD layer to selectively bake portions of the SOD layer which are
filled in an upper portion of the contact hole and placed on the
insulation layer. The etching procedure includes etching the baked
portions of the SOD layer and a portion of the insulation layer to define
a trench. The cleaning procedure includes cleaning the resultant
structure of the trench and to remove substantially all of the unbaked
portion of the SOD layer which remains in a lower portion of the contact
hole.
