ABSTRACT:
A redundant diffusion barrier structure and method of fabricated is provided for interconnect and wiring applications. The structure can also be a design structure. The structure includes a first liner lining at least one of a trench and a via and a second liner deposited over the first liner. The second liner comprises RuX. X is at least one of Boron and Phosphorous. The structure comprises a metal deposited on the second liner in the at least one trench and via to form a metal interconnect or wiring.
