Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor device includes forming a material layer over a substrate and forming a first trench in the material layer, forming a conformal capping layer along sidewalls of the first trench, forming a second trench in the material layer while the capping layer is disposed along sidewalls of the first trench and forming a conductive feature within the first trench and the second trench.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 13 , wherein the forming of the material layer in the first trench along sidewalls of the dielectric layer and the first hard mask layer includes forming the material layer directly on the portion of the first hard mask layer and the second hard mask layer.
