Original Abstract Submitted

A capping layer is on top of a substrate. A first low-k dielectric layer is on top of the capping layer. One or more trenches are within the first low-k dielectric layer. Each of the one or more trenches have a same depth. Each trench of the one or more trenches include a barrier layer on top of the first low-k dielectric layer, a liner layer and a metal layer on top of the liner layer.
