ABSTRACT:
In some embodiments, a damascene structure may be formed with metal lines separated by a dielectric layer. Portions of the dielectric layer may be ion implanted with carbon and/or inert species to lower selectively the dielectric constant, while leaving the bulk of the dielectric layer unaffected by the implant. As a result, suitably low dielectric constants can be achieved in damascene dielectric layers with sufficient mechanical strength.
