Abstract

A method includes providing a substrate having a first sacrificial oxide region, the substrate comprising a first interconnect layer, the first interconnect layer comprising the first sacrificial oxide region. The method further includes covering the first sacrificial oxide region with a first porous layer being permeable to a vapor hydrofluoric acid (HF) etchant and selectively etching the first sacrificial oxide region through the first porous layer using the vapor HF etchant.
