Abstract

Integrated circuit structures having differentiated interconnect lines in a same dielectric layer, and methods of fabricating integrated circuit structures having differentiated interconnect lines in a same dielectric layer, are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes an inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layer above a substrate. A plurality of conductive interconnect lines is in the ILD layer. The plurality of conductive interconnect lines includes a first interconnect line having a first height, and a second interconnect line immediately laterally adjacent to but spaced apart from the first interconnect line, the second interconnect line having a second height less than the first height.
