Abstract:
An interconnect structure and a method of forming are provided. The method includes forming an opening in a dielectric layer and an etch stop layer, wherein the opening extends only partially through the etch stop layer. The method also includes creating a vacuum environment around the device. After creating the vacuum environment around the device, the method includes etching through the etch stop layer to extend the opening and expose a first conductive feature. The method also includes forming a second conductive feature in the opening.

Claim (Index 14):
The method according to  claim 10 , wherein after the forming of the opening in the dielectric layer, a distance from the bottom surface of the opening and the bottom surface of the etch stop layer is in a range of about 0.1 \u212b to about 5 \u212b.
