Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure includes forming a trench in a dielectric structure; forming a spacer layer on a lateral surface of the dielectric structure exposed by the trench; after forming the spacer layer, forming a first electrically conductive feature in the trench; removing at least portion of the dielectric structure to form a recess; forming an etch stop layer in the recess and over the first electrically conductive feature; and after forming the etch stop layer, depositing a dielectric layer in the recess and over the first electrically conductive feature.
