An integrated circuit (IC) structure including an interconnect structure is disclosed. The interconnect structure may include a first etch stop layer (ESL) positioned between an initial via layer and a first metal layer of the interconnect structure. The ESL may be positioned adjacent to and surround a metal wire in the first metal layer. A method of forming an interconnect structure is also disclosed. The method may include forming an opening in a first dielectric layer above a substrate; forming a sacrificial semiconductor material in the opening; forming an ESL on the first dielectric layer and sacrificial semiconductor material; forming a second dielectric layer on the ESL; forming an opening in the second dielectric layer to expose a portion of the ESL; removing the exposed portion of the ESL; removing the sacrificial semiconductor material; and forming a conductive material in the openings to form an interconnect structure.
