Abstract

To form a substantially closed void between two structures on a substrate, a flowable liquid dielectric material is deposited to fill partially the space between the structures, and a surface is placed to bridge and substantially close the space between the structures. The substrate is then inverted whilst maintaining the bridge and the deposited material is allowed to flow down to be substantially supported by the surface. The material is set in its substantially supported position, and the surface is removed.
