ABSTRACT:
A process and structure for a metal interconnect includes providing a substrate with a first electric conductor, forming a first dielectric layer and a first patterned hard mask, using the first patterned hard mask to form a first opening and a second electric conductor, forming a second dielectric layer and a second patterned hard mask, using the second patterned hard mask as an etching mask and using a first patterned hard mask as an etch stop layer to form a second opening and a third electric conductor.
