A barrier architecture is provided that includes different materials that are selected to be employed in connection with copper contact applications. Some of the barrier material is formed over trench contact sidewalls, and other different barrier material is formed over trench contact bottoms. By selecting the appropriate barrier materials, electromigration can be improved while, at the same time, interconnect and contact resistances can be kept low and array leakage can be mitigated.
