Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a dielectric layer over a substrate, a via conductor over the substrate and in the dielectric layer, and a first graphene layer disposed over the via conductor. In some embodiments, a top surface of the via conductor and a top surface of the dielectric layer are level. In some embodiments, the first graphene layer overlaps the via conductor from a top view. In some embodiments, the semiconductor structure further includes a second graphene layer under the via conductor and a third graphene layer between the dielectric layer and the via conductor. In some embodiments, the second graphene layer is between the substrate and the via conductor.
