Cut integration for subtractive first metal line with bottom up second metal line

Abstract:

A method includes applying a first metallic layer having a first metallic material onto a substrate of a semiconductor component. The method further includes removing portions of the first metallic layer to form a first metallic line. The method further includes creating an opening in the first metallic line. The method also includes depositing a dielectric material on the substrate. The method further includes forming at least one trench in the dielectric material. The method also includes depositing a second metallic material within the at least one trench to form a second metallic line. At least the first and second metallic lines and the dielectric material form an interconnect structure of the semiconductor component.
