A method for integrating low-temperature selective Ru metal deposition into manufacturing of semiconductor devices to improve electromigration and stress migration in bulk Cu metal. The method includes providing a patterned substrate containing a recessed feature in a dielectric layer, where the recessed feature is at least substantially filled with planarized bulk Cu metal, heat-treating the bulk Cu metal and the dielectric layer in the presence of H2, N2, or NH3, or a combination thereof, and selectively depositing a Ru metal film on the heat-treated planarized bulk Cu metal.
