    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes forming a semiconductor device over a substrate, forming a combination of a connection-level dielectric layer and a connection-level metal interconnect structure over the semiconductor device, where the connection-level metal interconnect structure is electrically connected to a node of the semiconductor device and is embedded in the connection-level dielectric layer, forming a line-and-via-level dielectric layer over the connection-level dielectric layer, forming an integrated line-and-via cavity through the line-and-via-level dielectric layer over the connection-level metal interconnect structure, selectively growing a conductive via structure containing cobalt from a bottom of the via portion of the integrated line-and-via cavity without completely filling a line portion of the integrated line-and-via cavity, and forming a copper-based conductive line structure that contains copper at an atomic percentage that is greater than 90% in the line portion of the integrated line-and-via cavity on the conductive via structure.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure includes a first alternating stack of first insulating layers and first electrically conductive layers having first stepped surfaces and located over a substrate, a second alternating stack of second insulating layers and second electrically conductive layers having second stepped surfaces, and memory opening fill structures extending through the alternating stacks. A contact via assembly is provided, which includes a first conductive via structure vertically extending from a top surface of one of the first electrically conductive layers through a subset of layers within the second alternating stack and through the second retro-stepped dielectric material portion, an insulating spacer located within an opening through the subset of layers, and a second conductive via structure laterally surrounding the insulating spacer and contacting a second electrically conductive layer.
