    • A method for forming through a microelectronic layer a via contiguous with a trench. There is first provided a substrate. There is then formed over the substrate a first microelectronic layer. There is then formed upon the first microelectronic layer an etch stop layer. There is then formed upon the etch stop layer a second microelectronic layer. There is then formed over the second microelectronic layer a first patterned photoresist layer which defines the location of a via to be formed through the second microelectronic layer, the etch stop layer and the first microelectronic layer. There is then etched, while employing a first etch method which employs the first patterned photoresist layer as a first etch mask layer, the second microelectronic layer, the etch stop layer and the first microelectronic layer to form a corresponding patterned second microelectronic layer, patterned etch stop layer and patterned first microelectronic layer which define the via. There is then formed into at least a lower portion of the via a sacrificial via fill layer. There is then formed over the patterned second microelectronic layer a patterned second photoresist layer which defines the location of a trench to be formed through the patterned second microelectronic layer, where a first areal dimension of the via is smaller than and contained within a second areal dimension of the trench. There is then etched, while employing a second etch method which employs the second patterned photoresist layer as a second etch mask layer, the patterned second microelectronic layer to form a twice patterned second microelectronic layer which defines the trench, while not completely etching the sacrificial via fill layer within the via to form a no greater than partially etched sacrificial via fill layer within the via. Finally, there is then stripped the no greater than partially etched sacrificial via fill layer from the via to form the reduced height via contiguous with the trench.
