Abstract

A semiconductor device structure is provided. The semiconductor device structure includes a first conductive line over a substrate. The semiconductor device structure includes a first protection cap over the end portion. The first protection cap and the first conductive line are made of different conductive materials, and the first protection cap exposes a peripheral region of a top surface of the end portion. The semiconductor device structure includes a first photosensitive dielectric layer over the substrate, the first conductive line, and the first protection cap. The semiconductor device structure includes a conductive via structure passing through the first photosensitive dielectric layer and connected to the first protection cap.
