    Abstract: A low aspect ratio interconnect is provided and includes a metallization layer, a liner and a metallic interconnect. The metallization layer includes bottommost and uppermost surfaces. The uppermost surface has a maximum post-deposition height from the bottommost surface at first metallization layer portions. The metallization layer defines a trench at second metallization layer portions. The liner includes is disposed to line the trench and includes liner sidewalls that have terminal edges that extend to the maximum post-deposition height and lie coplanar with the uppermost surface at the first metallization layer portions. The metallic interconnect is disposed on the liner to fill a trench remainder and has an uppermost interconnect surface that extends to the maximum post-deposition height and lies coplanar with the uppermost surface at the first metallization layer portions.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a semiconductor structure having a dual-layer interconnect and a barrier layer. The interconnect structure combines a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and a barrier layer disposed between. The result is a low via resistance combined with improved electromigration performance. In one embodiment, the first conductive layer is copper, the second conductive layer is cobalt, and the barrier layer is tantalum nitride. A barrier layer is not used in other embodiments. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
