ABSTRACT:
Design structure embodied in a machine readable medium for designing, manufacturing, or testing a design. The design structure includes an interconnect structure with a liner formed on roughened dielectric material in an insulating layer and a conformal liner repair layer bridging that breaches in the liner. The conformal liner repair layer is formed of a conductive material, such as a cobalt-containing material. The conformal liner repair layer may be particularly useful for repairing discontinuities in a conductive liner disposed on roughened dielectric material bordering the trenches and vias of damascene interconnect structures.
