1. A method for forming a multi-layer interconnection structure for a semiconductor device, comprising the steps of:

  • providing a semiconductor substrate on which a first interconnection layer is formed;

    forming a first interlayer insulating film on the first interconnection layer and the semiconductor substrate;

    forming a patterned etch stopper layer on the first interlayer insulating film such that the etch stopper layer is overlapped with a portion of the first interconnection layer;

    forming a second interlayer insulating film on the etch stopper layer and the first interlayer insulating film;

    forming a photoresist pattern on the second interlayer insulating film in such a manner that a portion of the second interlayer insulating film, which is vertically overlapped with a portion of the first interconnection layer and a portion of the etch stopper layer including the portion overlapped with the first interconnection layer, is exposed;

    etching the second and first interlayer films using the photoresist pattern and the etch stopper layer such that a contact hole is formed through which the first interconnection layer and a portion of the etch stopper layer are exposed;

    removing the photoresist pattern;

    depositing a conductive film at a uniform thickness on the second interlayer insulating film, side walls of the contact hole, the first interconnection layer, and the etch stopper layer; and

    patterning the conductive film such that a second interconnection layer is formed that is in contact with the first interconnection layer.
