Abstract
A semiconductor structure includes a first metallization feature, a first dielectric structure over the first metallization feature, a second metallization feature embedded in the first dielectric structure, a via structure between the first metallization feature and the second metallization feature, and a first insulating layer between the first dielectric structure and the first metallization feature, and between the first dielectric structure and the via structure. The first metallization feature extends along a first direction, and the second metallization feature extends along a second direction different from the first direction. The first insulating layer covers first sidewalls of the via structure along the second direction.
