Abstract

An interconnection structure and a method of manufacturing an interconnection structure are provided. The interconnection structure includes a first dielectric layer, a second dielectric layer disposed on the first dielectric layer, and a first conductive layer disposed in the first dielectric layer. The interconnection structure also includes a conductive via electrically connected with the first conductive layer and extending through the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer. The conductive via has a first lateral surface surrounded by the first dielectric layer and a second lateral surface surrounded by the second dielectric layer. The first lateral surface and the second lateral surface have different slopes.
