Abstract

A semiconductor device can include wiring lines on a substrate and an interlayer insulating structure, between ones of the wiring lines. The wiring lines can include a pore-containing layer that includes a plurality of pores extending away from a surface of the substrate, wherein ones of the pores have respective volumes that increase with a distance from the substrate until reaching an air gap layer above the pore-containing layer and beneath uppermost surfaces of the wiring lines.
