A method of making an interconnect structure includes forming an opening within a dielectric material layer disposed on a substrate including a conductive material, the opening extending from a first surface to a second surface of the dielectric material layer and being in contact with a portion of the substrate; performing a plasma treatment process to chemically enrich exposed surfaces of the dielectric material that line the opening to form a chemically-enriched dielectric surface layer that included an element in a higher concentration than a remaining portion of the dielectric material layer; performing a chemical treatment process to remove a metal contact product from the portion of the substrate that is in contact with the opening; and disposing a conductive material in the opening to substantially fill the opening and form the interconnect structure.
