Abstract

The present application discloses a method for preparing a semiconductor device with an air gap structure between conductive structures. The method includes: forming a first bit line, a second bit line, a first capacitor contact and a second capacitor contact over a semiconductor substrate, wherein the first capacitor contact and the second capacitor contact are disposed between the first bit line and the second bit line; forming a first dielectric layer over a sidewall of the first bit line, a sidewall of the second bit line, a sidewall of the first capacitor contact and a sidewall of the second capacitor contact such that an opening is formed and surrounded by the first dielectric layer; filling the opening with a dielectric structure; and removing the first dielectric layer to form an opening structure surrounding the dielectric structure.
