A method is provided for use with an IC device including a stack including a plurality of conductive layers interleaved with a plurality of dielectric layers, for forming interlayer connectors extending from a connector surface to respective conductive layers. The method forms landing areas on the plurality of conductive layers in the stack. The landing areas are without overlying conductive layers in the stack. The method forms etch stop layers over corresponding landing areas. The etch stop layers have thicknesses that correlate with depths of the corresponding landing areas. The method fills over the landing areas and the etch stop layers with a dielectric fill material. Using a patterned etching process, the method forms a plurality of vias extending through the dielectric fill material and the etch stop layers to the landing areas in the plurality of conductive layers. |
