[0029] As described in the background art, the production cost of the interconnection structure formed by the prior art is high, and there is an urgent need to provide a new interconnection structure and a method for forming the same, which can reduce the production cost of the interconnection structure while ensuring the electrical performance of the interconnection structure.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 , providing a substrate 100, wherein the substrate 100 includes an adjacent first region I and a second region II; forming a first dielectric layer 101 on the substrate 100, wherein the first dielectric layer 101 is respectively located on the first region I and the second region II, wherein the first dielectric layer 101 has one or more first plug structures 102, and the first dielectric layer 101 exposes the top surface of the first plug structure 102.
