Systems and methods of forming a reduced capacitance device
Abstract:
A method includes forming an electronic device structure including a substrate, an oxide layer, and a first low-k layer. The method also includes forming openings by patterning the oxide layer, filling the openings with a conductive material to form conductive structures within the openings, and removing the oxide layer using the first low-k layer as an etch stop layer. The conductive structures contact the first low-k layer. Removing the oxide layer includes performing a chemical vapor etch process with respect to the oxide layer to form an etch byproduct and removing the etch byproduct. The method includes forming a second low-k layer using a deposition process that causes the second low-k layer to define one or more cavities. Each cavity is defined between a first conductive structure and an adjacent conductive structure, the first and second conductive structures have a spacing therebetween that is smaller than a threshold distance.
