ABSTRACT:
A method for forming an interconnect structure, the interconnect structure comprising: a lower level wire having a side and a bottom, the lower level wire comprising: a lower core conductor and a lower conductive liner, the lower conductive liner on the side and the bottom of the lower level wire; an upper level wire having a side and a bottom, the upper level wire comprising an upper core conductor and an upper conductive liner, the upper conductive liner on the side and the bottom of the upper level wire; and the upper conductive liner in contact with the lower core conductor and also in contact with the lower conductive liner in a liner-to-liner contact region.
