Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of forming an integrated circuit structure. The method includes depositing a first metal layer on a semiconductor substrate; forming a hard mask on the first metal layer; patterning the first metal layer to form first metal features using the hard mask as an etch mask; depositing a dielectric layer of a first dielectric material on the first metal features and in gaps among the first metal features; performing a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process to both the dielectric layer and the hard mask; removing the hard mask, thereby having portions of the dielectric layer extruded above the metal features; forming an inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layer of the second dielectric material different from the first dielectric material; and patterning the ILD layer to form openings that expose the first metal features and are constrained to be self-aligned with the first metal features by the extruded portions of the first dielectric layer.

Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor structure is provided. A conductive layer is formed over a substrate. The conductive layer is selectively etched to form a first conductive portion, a second conductive portion, and a spacing between the first conductive portion and the second conductive portion. A dielectric layer is formed over the first conductive portion, the second conductive portion, and the spacing, such that an air gap is formed in the spacing between the first and second conductive portions and is sealed by the dielectric layer.
