Among other things, one or more interconnect structures and techniques for forming such interconnect structures within integrated circuits are provided. An interconnect structure comprises one or more kinked structures, such as metal structures or via structures, formed according to a kinked profile. For example, the interconnect structure comprises a first kinked structure having a first tapered portion and a second kinked structure having a second tapered portion.
