Method of manufacturing of a sidewall opening of an interconnect of a semiconductor device

1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising:

providing a substrate having a top surface;

forming a semiconductor circuit defining a circuit area on the top surface of the substrate;

forming an interconnect spaced apart from the circuit area and extending from the top surface into the substrate, the interconnect comprising:

a first sidewall formed of a first electrically insulating material;

a second sidewall formed of a second electrically insulating material, the second sidewall being arranged inside the first sidewall;

a third sidewall formed of an electrically conducting material, the third sidewall being arranged inside the second sidewall, and

providing an opening within the second sidewall, wherein the opening extends laterally between an outer surface of the third sidewall and an inner surface of the first sidewall, wherein the outer surface of the third sidewall contacts the opening on one side, and the inner surface of the first sidewall contacts the opening on another, opposing side.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein forming the opening comprises forming a recess within the second sidewall by selective etching.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein forming the opening further comprises partial filling of the recess with a thermally decomposable material.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein forming the opening further comprises depositing at least one of a dielectric layer and a metallization layer bridging the opening.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein forming the opening further comprises filling the recess further with a porous and curable material.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein forming the opening further comprises applying heat for decomposing the thermally decomposable material and for curing the porous material.
