Electric device and method for fabricating the same
View Patent ↗A wiring groove is formed in an insulating film, and then a reformed layer is formed in the vicinity of the wiring groove in the insulating film. Thereafter, a conductive film is buried in the wiring groove, thereby forming a wire. Subsequently, the reformed layer is removed to form a slit, and then a low-dielectric-constant film having a relative dielectric constant lower than the insulating film is buried in the slit.
