ABSTRACT:
A method for patterning a dual damascene structure in a semiconductor substrate is disclosed. The patterning is a metal hardmask based pattering eliminating at least resist poisoning and further avoiding or at least minimizing low-k damage. The method can be used as a full-via-first patterning method or a partial-via-first patterning method.
