Abstract: A method includes providing a structure having a gate stack; first gate spacers; a second gate spacer over one of the first gate spacers and having an upper portion over a lower portion; a dummy spacer; an etch stop layer; and a dummy cap. The method further includes removing the dummy cap, resulting in a first void above the gate stack and between the first gate spacers; removing the dummy spacer, resulting in a second void above the lower portion and between the etch stop layer and the upper portion; depositing a layer of a decomposable material into the first and the second voids; depositing a seal layer over the etch stop layer, the first and the second gate spacers, and the layer of the decomposable material; and removing the layer of the decomposable material, thereby reclaiming at least portions of the first and the second voids.

Abstract: A method includes providing a structure having transistors, an isolation structure over the transistors, metal plugs through the isolation structure and connecting to the transistors, and a trench with the isolation structure and the metal plugs as sidewalls. The method further includes forming a dielectric liner on the sidewalls of the trench and over the isolation structure and the metal plugs. The dielectric liner is thicker at an opening portion of the trench than at another portion of the trench so that an air gap is formed inside the trench and the air gap is surrounded by the dielectric liner. The method further includes depositing a sacrificial layer over the dielectric liner and over the air gap and performing CMP to remove the sacrificial layer and to recess the dielectric liner until the isolation structure and the metal plugs are exposed. The air gap remains inside the trench.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method, and more particularly to forming via rail and deep via structures to reduce parasitic capacitances in standard cell structures. Via rail structures are formed in a level different from the conductive lines. The via rail structure can reduce the number of conductive lines and provide larger separations between conductive lines that are on the same interconnect level and thus reduce parasitic capacitance between conductive lines.
