Abstract

See full text

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming grooves in a first dielectric layer on a substrate, the first dielectric layer including a first part between the grooves, forming a first barrier layer and an interconnect layer in each groove, recessing the interconnect layer and the first barrier layer, forming a capping pattern on the recessed interconnect layer, etching at least a portion of the first part by a first etching process, sequentially etching the capping pattern and the at least a portion of the IMD part by a second etching process to form a trench, conformally forming a second barrier layer in the trench and on the recessed interconnection layer, and forming a second dielectric layer on the second barrier layer not to fill the trench such that an air gap is formed in the trench.
