1. A method of forming a metal line of a semiconductor memory device, comprising:
forming an underlying layer over a semiconductor substrate;
forming a barrier metal layer, a metal layer and an anti-reflection layer on the underlying layer;
etching the anti-reflection layer, the metal layer and the barrier metal layer to form anti-reflection patterns, metal patterns, and barrier metal patterns;
forming spacer layers on sidewalls of the anti-reflection patterns, the metal patterns, and the barrier metal patterns; and
forming a second interlayer insulating layer on the semiconductor substrate including the underlying layer.
