The present disclosure relates to an integrated chip that includes a substrate, a first metal line, and a hybrid metal line. The first metal line includes a first metal material and is within a first interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer over the substrate. The hybrid metal line is also within the first ILD layer. The hybrid metal line includes a pair of first metal segments that comprise the first metal material. The hybrid metal line further includes a second metal segment that comprises a second metal material that is different from the first metal material. The second metal segment is laterally between the pair of first metal segments.

Hybrid metal line structure

A semiconductor device includes a first conductive structure. The semiconductor device includes a first dielectric structure. The semiconductor device includes a second conductive structure. The first dielectric structure is positioned between a first surface of the first conductive structure and a surface of the second conductive structure. The semiconductor device includes an etch stop layer overlaying the first conductive structure. The semiconductor device includes a first spacer structure overlaying the first dielectric structure. The semiconductor device includes a second dielectric structure overlaying the first spacer structure and the etch stop layer.
