ABSTRACT:
A dielectric layer in a dual-damascene interconnect is described. A dual-damascene interconnect structure is formed on a substrate. The dual-damascene interconnect structure has a first dielectric layer formed over the substrate, a second dielectric layer formed on the first dielectric layer, a first wire penetrating through the second dielectric layer and a second wire. The second wire penetrates through the second dielectric layer and is electrically coupled to the substrate. The second dielectric layer is removed. A barrier cap layer is formed conformally over the substrate. A third dielectric layer is formed on the barrier cap layer and an air gap is formed in a space enclosed by the third dielectric layer, the first and the second wires. A fourth dielectric layer is formed on the third dielectric layer. A planarizing process is performed to planarize the fourth dielectric layer.
