ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a method for fabricating a damascene type structure of interconnections on a semiconductor device. It includes the following steps:formation of a first level of conductors in a first electric insulating layer and of a second level of conductors in a second electric insulating layer, with the conductors in the first level being arranged with a pre-determined spacing in order to allow, in a later step, the formation of air or vacuum gaps between the conductors in the first level,elimination of the second electric insulating layer,elimination, at least partial, of the first electric insulating layer in order to eliminate at least some parts of the first layer corresponding to the gaps to be formed,deposit, over the structure thus obtained, of a material with low permittivity, with this deposit not filling the space between the conductors in the first level whose spacing has been planned to allow the formation of gaps.
