    Abstract: A metal interconnect assembly includes a first metal interconnect structure, and a second metal interconnect structure embedded in a second dielectric material layer and containing a metal line portion having a top surface located within a first horizontal plane and having a bottom surface located within a second horizontal plane, and further containing a metal via portion adjoined to a bottom of the metal line portion and contacting a top surface of the first metal interconnect structure. The second metal interconnect structure contains a metallic liner including a first metallic material that includes an entire volume of the metal via portion and an outer part of the metal line portion, and a metallic fill material portion contains a second metallic material that includes an inner part of the metal line portion, does not contact and is spaced from the second dielectric material layer by the metallic liner.
