Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor integrated circuits, in particular to a method for manufacturing an interconnection structure with an air gap. Background technique
[0002] As integrated circuits (Integrated Circuit, IC) continue to shrink according to Moore's Law, the integration level is getting higher and higher, and the various performances of the devices are also demanding higher and higher requirements, among which the back-end process (BEOL, Back End of Line) The introduced resistance-capacitance delay (RC Delay) becomes an important factor that cannot be ignored more and more. The resistance-capacitance time delay is proportional to the resistance of the metal connection and the parasitic capacitance between the fill medium and the metal:

[0004] Where R is the resistance of the metal connection, C IMD and C ILD They are the capacitance between metal wirings and the c...
