Abstract
A method for manufacturing an interconnection structure for an integrated circuit is provided. The integrated circuit includes a first insulating layer, a second insulating layer, and a third insulating layer. Electrical contacts pass through the first insulating layer, and a component having an electrical contact region is located in the second insulating layer. The method includes etching a first opening in the third layer, vertically aligned with the contact region. A fourth insulating layer is deposited to fill in the opening, and a second opening is etched to the contact region by passing through the opening in the third insulating layer. A metal level is formed by filling in the second opening with a metal.
