Abstract

A method includes forming a first cavity having a first width and a second cavity having a second width greater than the first width in a dielectric material, forming a first conformal layer in the first and second cavities, forming spacers in the first and second cavities, the spacers covering a first portion of the first conformal layer positioned on sidewalls of the first and second cavities and exposing a second portion of the first conformal layer positioned on the sidewalls of the first and second cavities, forming a material layer in the first and second cavities to cover bottom portions of the first conformal layer, performing a first etch process to remove the second portion of the first conformal layer positioned on the sidewalls of the first and second cavities, removing the spacers and the material layer, and forming a fill material in the first and second cavities.
