Zusammenfassung: | An interconnect structure for a semiconductor device includes a metallization line formed within a low-k dielectric material, the metallization line being surrounded on bottom and side surfaces thereof by a liner material. An embedded dielectric cap is formed over a top surface of the metallization line, wherein the embedded dielectric cap has a sufficient thickness so as to separate a top surface of the liner material from a hardmask layer formed over the low-k dielectric material. |
