Abstract:
An interconnect structure includes a damascene structure, an inter-metal dielectric (IMD), a dielectric block and a metal via. The inter-metal dielectric layer is over the damascene structure. The dielectric block is embedded in the IMD layer and has a different etch selectivity than the IMD layer. The metal via is in the IMD layer and through the dielectric block to electrically connect the damascene structure.

Claim (Index 14):
The interconnect structure of  claim 8 , further comprising:\n a second metal via in the second IMD layer; and a second dielectric block surrounding the second metal via, the first and second dielectric blocks being arranged horizontally in a spaced apart manner.
