A structure is provided with a metal cap for back end of line (BEOL) interconnects that substantially eliminates electro-migration (EM) damage, a design structure and a method of manufacturing the IC. The structure includes a metal interconnect formed in a dielectric material and a metal cap selective to the metal interconnect. The metal cap includes RuX, where X is at Boron, Phosphorous or a combination of Boron and Phosphorous.

1. A design structure embodied in a computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions for designing, manufacturing, or testing an integrated circuit, the design structure comprising a metal interconnect formed in a dielectric material and a metal cap selective to the metal interconnect, the metal cap comprising RuX, where X is at least one of Boron and Phosphorous, wherein the metal interconnect is planar with a surface of the dielectric material, and wherein the metal cap consists essentially of a bottom layer of Ru and a top layer of Ru(P), Ru(B) or Ru(P, B). 2. The design structure of claim 1, wherein the design structure is tangibly embodied in the machine readable medium. 3. The design structure of claim 1, wherein the design structure comprises a netlist. 4. The design structure of claim 1, wherein the design structure resides on storage medium as a data format used for the exchange of layout data of integrated circuits. 5. The design structure of claim 1, wherein the design structure resides in a programmable gate array. 6. The design structure of claim 1, wherein the metal cap is formed in a layered structure by applying alternating layers of (i) Ru and Ru(P), (ii) Ru and Ru(B), or (iii) Ru and Ru(P,B). 7. A design structure embodied in a computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions for designing, manufacturing, or testing an integrated circuit, the design structure comprising a metal interconnect formed in a dielectric material and a metal cap selective to the metal interconnect, the metal cap comprising RuX, where X is at least one of Boron and Phosphorous, wherein the metal interconnect is planar with a surface of the dielectric material, wherein the metal cap comprises a mixture of Ru with a component of (P), (B) or (P, B), with the component of (P), (B) or (P, B) gradually increasing in percentage concentration as it is deposited on the interconnect. 8. The design structure of claim 7, wherein a bottom portion of the metal cap is about 0% of (P), (B) or (P)(B) and an upper portion is about 30% of (P), (B) or (P)(B), with a gradual increase therebetween. 9. A design structure embodied in a computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions for designing, manufacturing, or testing an integrated circuit, the design structure comprising a metal interconnect formed in a dielectric material and a metal cap selective to the metal interconnect, the metal cap comprising RuX, where X is at least one of Boron and Phosphorous, wherein the metal interconnect is planar with a surface of the dielectric material, wherein the metal cap comprises a single layer of Ru(P), Ru(B) or Ru(P,B), with (P), (B) or (P,B) having a substantially constant percentage concentration throughout the metal cap. 10. A design structure embodied in a computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions for designing, manufacturing, or testing an integrated circuit, the design structure comprising a metal interconnect formed in a dielectric material and a metal cap selective to the metal interconnect, the metal cap comprising RuX, where X is at least one of Boron and Phosphorous, wherein the metal interconnect is planar with a surface of the dielectric material, wherein the metal cap is formed in a layered structure by applying alternating layers of (i) Ru and Ru(P), (ii) Ru and Ru(B), or (iii) Ru and Ru(P,B). 11. A design structure embodied in a computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions for designing, manufacturing, or testing an integrated circuit, the design structure comprising a metal interconnect formed in a dielectric material and a metal cap selective to the metal interconnect, the metal cap comprising RuX, where X is at least one of Boron and Phosphorous, wherein the metal interconnect is planar with a surface of the dielectric material, wherein the metal cap is deposited to a thickness of less than 50 Å.
