ABSTRACT:
Interconnect structures that include a conformal liner repair layer bridging breaches in a liner formed on roughened dielectric material in an insulating layer and methods of forming such interconnect structures. 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.
