Abstract

The present disclosure provides a semiconductor device structure with an air gap structure and a method for forming the semiconductor device structure. The semiconductor device structure includes a first conductive contact and a second conductive contact disposed over a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor device structure also includes a first dielectric layer surrounding the first conductive contact and the second conductive contact, and a second dielectric layer disposed over the first conductive contact, the second conductive contact and the first dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer is separated from the semiconductor substrate by a first air gap structure, the first dielectric layer is separated from the second dielectric layer by a second air gap structure, and the air gap structures reduce capacitive coupling between conductive features.
