A protecting liner is formed in the recess and over an exposed surface of the embedded electrical contact in the recess. The protecting liner includes at least two liner layers that have materially different etch rates in different etchants. A portion of the protecting liner is removed over the surface of the embedded electrical contact to again expose the surface of the embedded electrical contact in the recess. An embedded electrical interconnect is formed in the recess. The embedded electrical interconnect overlies the protecting liner on sides of the recess. | 05-15-2014 |
