ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit structure includes a metallization level having a dual damascene trench structure formed in a layer of dielectric material. The dielectric material has an upper surface with a first degree of planarity. The metallization level includes a conductive layer formed in the trench structure with an upper surface characterized by the same level of planarity as the dielectric material upper surface. In certain embodiments, the upper surface of the conductive layer is substantially coplanar with the dielectric material upper surface.
