Abstract:
Methods of forming self-aligned cuts and structures formed with self-aligned cuts. A dielectric layer is formed on a metal hardmask layer, and a mandrel is formed on the dielectric layer. A cut is formed that extends through the dielectric layer to the metal hardmask layer. A section of a metal layer is formed on an area of the metal hardmask layer exposed by the cut in the dielectric layer. After the metal layer is formed, a spacer is formed on a vertical sidewall of the mandrel.

Claim (Index 1):
A structure comprising:\n a metallization level including a dielectric layer, a first trench in the dielectric layer, and a first wire in the first trench, the first wire including a sidewall that is planar and a first tab that projects outwardly from a first portion of the sidewall.
