Methods for forming copper interconnects for semiconductor devices are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a method for forming a copper interconnect comprises depositing copper into a trench formed in a dielectric material overlying a semiconductor material. A force is applied to the semiconductor material and stress is induced within the copper deposited in the trench. Recrystallization and grain growth are effected within the copper and the stress is removed.
