Abstract

An integrated circuit and a method for manufacturing therefor is provided in which a partial dual damascene deposition is performed to place a barrier, seed, and conductive layer in most of a via between two interconnect channels and then capping the via with a further barrier, seed, conductive layer to prevent electromigration between an interconnect channel and the via.
