Abstract:
An interconnect structure is provided that includes an interconnect level that contains an interconnect dielectric material layer having a first electrically conductive via feature, an electrically conductive line feature, and a second electrically conductive via feature embedded in the interconnect dielectric material layer, wherein the first and second via features are self-aligned perpendicularly to, and along the direction of, the electrically conductive line feature.

Claim (Index 1):
An interconnect structure comprising:\n a lower interconnect level comprising a first interconnect dielectric material layer having a first electrically conductive line feature embedded therein; an upper interconnect level located above the lower interconnect level and comprising a second interconnect dielectric material layer having a first electrically conductive via feature, a second electrically conductive line feature, and a second electrically conductive via feature stacked one atop the other, and embedded in the second interconnect dielectric material layer, wherein the first and second electrically conductive via features are self-aligned perpendicularly to, and along the direction of, the second electrically conductive line feature; a third interconnect dielectric material layer having a lower portion embedded in the second interconnect dielectric material layer and laterally adjacent the second electrically conductive via feature, and an upper portion that is located above the second interconnect dielectric material layer and the second electrically conductive via feature; and a first metal liner located on an entirety of a topmost surface of the second electrically conductive line feature and entirely separating the second electrically conductive line feature from the second electrically conductive via feature and from the third interconnect dielectric material layer.
