A semiconductor device may be fabricated according to a method that
reduces stain difference of a passivation layer in the semiconductor
device. The method may include forming top wiring patterns in a
substrate, depositing a primary undoped silicate glass (USG) layer on the
top wiring patterns to fill a gap between the top wiring patterns, and
coating a SOG layer on the substrate on which the primary USG layer has
been deposited. Next, the SOG layer on the surface of the substrate may
be removed until the primary USG layer is exposed, and a secondary USG
layer may be deposited on the substrate on which the primary USG layer
has been exposed.
