    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a semiconductor structure that includes a semiconductor substrate. A first interconnect layer is disposed over the semiconductor substrate. The first interconnect layer includes a first dielectric material having a conductive body embedded therein. The conductive body includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a bottom surface. A spacer element has a sidewall which contacts the first sidewall of the conductive body and which contacts the bottom surface of the conductive body. A second interconnect layer overlies the first interconnect layer and includes a second dielectric material with at least one via therein. The at least one via is filled with a conductive material which is electrically coupled to the conductive body of the first interconnect layer.

    Abstract: An interconnect structure and a method of forming an interconnect structure are disclosed. The interconnect structure includes a lower etch stop layer (ESL); a middle low-k (LK) dielectric layer over the lower ESL; a supporting layer over the middle LK dielectric layer; an upper LK dielectric layer over the supporting layer; an upper conductive feature in the upper LK dielectric layer, wherein the upper conductive feature is through the supporting layer; a gap along an interface of the upper conductive feature and the upper LK dielectric layer; and an upper ESL over the upper LK dielectric layer, the upper conductive feature, and the gap.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a semiconductor structure and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor structure in which a spacer element is formed adjacent to a metal body embedded in a first dielectric layer of a first interconnect layer. A via which is misaligned relative to an edge of the metal body is formed in a second dielectric material in second interconnect layer disposed over the first interconnect layer and filled with a conductive material which is electrically coupled to the metal body. The method allows for formation of an interconnect structure without encountering the various problems presented by via substructure defects in the dielectric material of the first interconnect layer, as well as eliminating conventional gap-fill metallization issues.

    Abstract: Methods for manufacturing semiconductor structures are provided. The method includes forming a first masking layer over a substrate and forming a second masking layer over the first masking layer. The method includes forming a photoresist pattern over the second masking layer and patterning the second masking layer through the photoresist pattern. The method further includes diminishing the photoresist pattern and patterning the second masking layer and the first masking layer through the diminished photoresist pattern. The method further includes removing the diminished photoresist pattern and patterning the semiconductor substrate through the second masking layer and the first masking layer to form a fin structure. The method further includes forming a gate structure over the fin structure.
