Abstract

An interconnection structure and a method of manufacturing an interconnection structure are provided. The interconnection structure includes a first dielectric layer, a first conductive via in the first dielectric layer, and a first metal line disposed on the first dielectric layer and electrically connected with the first conductive via. At least a portion of the first metal line is exposed to a first air gap.

Claims (27)

1. An interconnection structure, comprising:

a first dielectric layer;

a first conductive via in the first dielectric layer; and

a first metal line disposed on the first dielectric layer and electrically connected with the first conductive via; wherein at least a portion of the first metal line is exposed to a first air gap;

a second dielectric layer disposed on the first metal line and defining a second air gap over the first air gap.

2. The interconnection structure of claim 1 , wherein a portion of a top surface of the first dielectric layer is exposed to the first air gap.

3. The interconnection structure of claim 1 , wherein the first metal line comprises a first lateral surface exposed to the first air gap and a second lateral surface in contact with the first dielectric layer.

4. The interconnection structure of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second metal line disposed on the first dielectric layer and physically spaced apart from the first metal line, wherein at least a portion of the second metal line is exposed to the first air gap.

5. The interconnection structure of claim 1 , wherein a width of the second air gap is less than a width of the first gap.

6. The interconnection structure of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second conductive via penetrating through the second dielectric layer and electrically connected with the first metal line.

7. The interconnection structure of claim 6 , further comprising:

a third dielectric layer disposed on the second dielectric layer and covering the second air gap.

8. The interconnection structure of claim 7 , further comprising:

a third metal line disposed on the third dielectric layer and electrically connected with the second conductive via, wherein at least a portion of the third metal line is exposed to a third air gap.

9. The interconnection structure of claim 8 , wherein the third air gap is physically separated from the second air gap through the third dielectric layer.

10. An interconnection structure, comprising:

a first dielectric layer;

a second dielectric layer disposed over the first dielectric layer;

a first conductive structure disposed between the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer; and

a second conductive structure disposed between the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer, wherein the second conductive structure is isolated from the first conductive structure through a first air gap;

wherein the second dielectric layer defines a second air gap over the first air gap, and wherein a width of the second air gap is less than a width of the first gap.

11. The interconnection structure of claim 10 , wherein the first conductive structure comprises a first lateral surface exposed to the first air gap and a second lateral surface in contact with the first dielectric layer.

12. The interconnection structure of claim 10 , further comprising:

a third dielectric layer disposed on the second dielectric layer and covering the second air gap; and

a third conductive structure disposed on the third dielectric layer and electrically connected with the first conductive structure, wherein the third conductive structure is exposed to a third air gap, and wherein the third air gap is physically separated from the second air gap through the third dielectric layer.
