[0141] The following disclosure provides several different implementations, or embodiments, for carrying out the various features of this disclosure. Specific embodiments of components and arrangements are described below to simplify the content of this disclosure. Of course, these are merely embodiments and are not intended to be limiting. For example, in the following description, the formation of a first feature on or over a second feature may include implementations where the first and second features are in direct contact, or implementations where additional features may be formed between the first and second features, such that the first and second features do not need to be in direct contact. Furthermore, reference numerals or letters may be repeated in various embodiments of this disclosure. This repetition is for brevity and does not in itself represent a relationship between the various implementations or configurations discussed.

[0142] Furthermore, for ease of description, this disclosure may use spatially relative terms such as "below," "below," "lower part," "above," "upper part," etc., to describe the relationship of one element or feature to other elements or features, as shown in the accompanying drawings. Spatially relative terms include not only the directions shown in the drawings but also the different orientations of the element during use or operation. This device may be used in other orientations (rotated 90 degrees or other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptive terms used herein may be interpreted accordingly.

[0143] The term "cover" and / or similar terms can be used to describe an element or feature that overlaps vertically with another element or feature and is at a higher elevation than the other element or feature. For example, if the elevation of a first element is higher than that of a second element, and at least a portion of the first element is perpendicularly coincident with at least a portion of the second element, then the first element covers the second element.

[0144] The term "bottom" and / or similar terms can be used to describe an element or feature that coincides vertically with another element or feature but is at a lower elevation than the other element or feature. For example, if the elevation of a first element is lower than that of a second element, and at least a portion of the first element is vertically aligned with at least a portion of the second element, then the first element is below the second element.

[0145] The term "above" can be used to describe an element or feature that is at a higher elevation than another element or feature. For example, if the first element is at a higher elevation than the second element, then the first element is above the second element.

[0146] The term "below" can be used to describe an element or feature that is at a lower elevation than another element or feature. For example, if the elevation of the first element is lower than that of the second element, then the first element is below the second element.

[0155] Figure 2To illustrate a first photoresist 202 formed over a first dielectric layer 108 according to some embodiments. The first photoresist 202 at least covers the first dielectric layer 108, is in direct contact with the top surface of the first dielectric layer 108, or is in indirect contact with the top surface of the first dielectric layer 108. The first photoresist 202 is formed by at least one of PVD, sputtering, CVD, PECVD, LPCVD, ALCVD, UHVCVD, RPCVD, ALD, MBE, LPE, spin, growth, or other suitable techniques.

[0156] In some embodiments, the first photoresist 202 comprises a photosensitive material, wherein the properties of the first photoresist 202 (e.g., solubility) are affected by light. The first photoresist 202 is either a negative photoresist or a positive photoresist. With a negative photoresist, when illuminated by a light source, the areas of the negative photoresist become insoluble, and therefore, in a subsequent development stage, applying a solvent to the negative photoresist removes the unilluminated areas of the negative photoresist. Thus, the pattern formed in the negative photoresist is a negative defined by the opaque areas of the template (e.g., a mask) between the light source and the negative photoresist. With a positive photoresist, the illuminated areas of the positive photoresist become soluble and are removed during development using a solvent. Thus, the pattern formed in the positive photoresist is a positive image of the opaque areas of the template (e.g., a mask) between the light source and the positive photoresist.

[0157] Figure 3 To illustrate a first patterned photoresist 302 formed from a first photoresist 202 according to some embodiments. In some embodiments, the first patterned photoresist 302 defines openings 304 and 306 exposing portions 308 and 310 of the first dielectric layer 108. Although two openings are depicted in the first patterned photoresist 302, it is conceivable to have any number of openings in the first patterned photoresist 302.

[0158] Figures 4 to 5 To illustrate, a first patterned photoresist 302 is used to form a first set of trenches according to some embodiments. In some embodiments, a first etching process is performed to remove a portion of at least one of a first dielectric layer 108 or a first etch stop layer 106 to form the first set of trenches. In some embodiments, the first set of trenches includes a first trench 504 and a second trench 506 (e.g., Figure 5 (As shown). Although the figure shows two trenches in the first group of trenches, it is still possible to consider opening any number of trenches in the first group of trenches.
