Abstract

A method for forming semiconductor device (1) that includes providing a substrate (10) having a metal interconnect (12), depositing a via interlevel dielectric (ILD) layer (20) over the substrate (10) and the metal interconnect (12), etching the via ILD layer (20) to form a via (30) over the metal interconnect (12), depositing a trench ILD layer (32) over the via ILD layer (12) and the via (30), etching the trench ILD layer (32) to form a trench (40), the trench (40) being contiguous with the via (12), and depositing a metal (44) so as to fill the via (30) and the trench (40), and provide electrical connection with the metal interconnect (12).
