7. The method of claim 6, wherein the barrier metal layer is formed in a single-layered structure or a multi-layered structure using at least one selected from the group consisting of titanium (Ti), titanium nitride (TiN), tantalum (Ta) and tantalum nitride (TaN).
8. The method of claim 5, wherein the CVD process or the cyclic CVD process is performed by thermally decomposing the organic aluminum precursor at a temperature of about 120 to about 200\xb0 C.
