Abstract

A method of forming an integrated circuit that includes providing a substrate, a metal layer over the substrate, and a first dielectric layer over the metal layer. The first dielectric layer includes a via. A sidewall layer that includes a silicon compound is in the via. A second dielectric layer is over the sidewall layer and an ultra-thick metal (UTM) layer is in the via.
