Abstract

See full text

Back-end-of-line (BEOL) wiring structures and inductors, methods for fabricating BEOL wiring structures and inductors, and design structures for a BEOL wiring structure or an inductor. A feature, which may be a trench or a wire, is formed that includes a sidewall intersecting a top surface of a dielectric layer. A surface layer is formed on the sidewall of the feature. The surface layer is comprised of a conductor and has a thickness selected to provide a low resistance path for the conduction of a high frequency signal.
