ABSTRACT:
A method for making a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes forming transistor structures on a substrate and forming interconnect metallization structures in a plurality of levels through depositing a sacrificial layer. A dual damascene process is performed to etch trenches and vias, and filling and planarizing the trenches and vias. The sacrificial layer is etched throughout the plurality of levels of the interconnect metallization structures, thus leaving a voided interconnect metallization structure. The voided interconnect metallization structure is filled with low K dielectric material, thus defining a low K dielectric interconnect metallization structure.
