A copper interconnect structure is formed in a semiconductor device using self-aligned copper or tungsten via pillars to connect upper and lower copper interconnect layers separated by a dielectric. The lower copper interconnect layer is formed on an underlying layer. The via pillars are formed on the lower copper interconnect layer. The copper upper interconnect layer is formed to make electrical contact to exposed upper surfaces of the via pillars.
