Abstract: A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of: forming an inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layer on a substrate; forming a trench in the IMD layer; performing a treatment process to transform part of the IMD layer into a damaged layer adjacent to the trench; forming a protective layer on a sidewall of the damaged layer; forming a metal layer in the trench; and removing the damaged layer to form an air gap adjacent to the protective layer.

Abstract: A method of copper hillock detecting includes the following steps. A testkey structure is disposed on a substrate, wherein the testkey structure includes a lower metallization layer, an upper metallization layer, and a dielectric layer between the lower metallization layer and the upper metallization layer. A force voltage difference is applied to the lower metallization layer and the upper metallization layer under a test temperature and stress time. A changed sensing voltage difference to the lower metallization layer and the upper metallization layer is detected for detecting copper hillock.
