Interconnect structures having top vias self-aligned to metal line ends and techniques for formation thereof are provided. In one aspect, an interconnect structure includes: at least one metal line disposed on a substrate; at least one top via over the at least one metal line, wherein the at least one top via is aligned with an end of the at least one metal line, and wherein a sidewall of the at least one top via is curved. A dielectric fill material can be disposed adjacent to the at least one top via having sidewalls that are also curved. A method of fabricating an interconnect structure is also provided.
