Patent abstract
A method for forming a damascene structure utilizes dual hard mask layers and a thin etch stop layer, and does not require a sacrificial layer within the via. A floating etch stop layer can additionally be used. The dual hard masks may be formed of dielectric and neither of the hard masks is required to contain metal. The thin etch stop layer reduces capacitance problems.
