Abstract

A method for forming dual damascene features in a dielectric layer. Vias are partially etched in the dielectric layer. A trench pattern mask is formed over the dielectric layer. Trenches are partially etched in the dielectric layer. The trench pattern mask is stripped. The dielectric layer is further etched to complete etch the vias and the trenches in the dielectric layer.
