US Patent 11222843 Interconnect structure and method for forming the same

A method for forming an interconnect structure is provided. The method for forming the interconnect structure includes forming a metal line over a substrate, forming a first dielectric layer surrounding the metal line, selectively forming a dielectric block over the first dielectric layer without forming the dielectric block on the metal line, forming a second dielectric layer over the dielectric block and the metal line, etching the second dielectric layer to form a via hole corresponding to the metal line, and filling the via hole with a conductive material.
