Abstract

A method for forming an interconnection structure (10) for a semiconductor device is disclosed, wherein a first conductive layer is etched to form a set of third conductive lines (113) above a first and second conductive line (101, 108). At least one of the third conductive lines comprises a contacting portion forming a first via connection (114) to the second conductive line. The method further comprises forming spacers (115) on side walls of the set of third conductive lines, and forming, between two neighboring spacers, a via hole (116) extending to the underlying first conductive line. A second conductive layer is deposited, filling the via hole to form a second via connection (118) and forming a set of fourth conductive lines (119) extending between the spacers.
