Abstract:
A semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device can have a substrate including dielectric material. A plurality of narrow interconnect openings can be formed within said dielectric material. In addition, a plurality of wide interconnect openings can be formed within said dielectric material. The semiconductor device can include a first metal filling the narrow interconnect openings to form an interconnect structure and conformally covering a surface of the wide interconnect openings formed in the dielectric material, and a second metal formed over the first metal and encapsulated by the first metal to form another interconnect structure within the wide interconnect openings.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 10 , wherein recessing the second metal comprising fully removing portion over the top surface of the dielectric material and portion along the sidewalls of the trench in the wide interconnect opening, and partially removing portion over the bottom of the trench in the wide interconnect opening.
