Abstract

A method of forming a multi-layered interconnect structure is provided. A first conductive pattern is formed over an insulation layer. A first dielectric material is deposited over the first conductive pattern, and plugs are formed in the first dielectric material. A second conductive pattern is formed over the first dielectric material and plugs so as to form the multi-layered interconnect structure in part. Then, the first dielectric material is stripped away to leave the multi-layered interconnect structure exposed to air. A thin layer of second dielectric material is deposited so as to coat at least a portion of the interconnect structure. Next, a thin layer of metal is deposited so as to coat the at least a portion of the interconnect structure coated with the thin layer of second dielectric material. A third dielectric material is deposited over the interconnect structure to replace the stripped away first dielectric material.
