    Abstract: Methods of forming a semiconductor device are provided. A method of forming a semiconductor device may include forming a capping layer on a metal pattern and on an adjacent portion of an insulating layer, the capping layer comprising a first etch selectivity, with respect to the insulating layer, on the metal pattern and a second etch selectivity, with respect to the insulating layer, on the portion of the insulating layer. Moreover, the method may include forming a recess region adjacent the metal pattern by removing the capping layer from the portion of the insulating layer. At least a portion of the capping layer may remain on an uppermost surface of the metal pattern after removing the capping layer from the portion of the insulating layer. Related semiconductor devices are also provided.

    Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor device comprising a device region on a substrate, an interlayer dielectric layer on the device region, a first interface layer on a side of the interlayer dielectric layer, a low-k dielectric layer spaced apart from the interlayer dielectric layer across the first interface layer and having a dielectric constant less than that of the interlayer dielectric layer, and a conductive line in the low-k dielectric layer. The first interface layer comprises a first sub-interface layer in contact with the low-k dielectric layer, and a second sub-interface layer in contact with the interlayer dielectric layer. The second sub-interface layer has hydrogen permeability less than that of the first sub-interface layer.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a plurality of first conductive patterns disposed on the substrate and a plurality of second conductive patterns disposed on the first conductive patterns. Respective air gaps are disposed between adjacent ones of the first conductive patterns overlying a first region of the substrate, while adjacent ones of the first conductive patterns overlying a second region of the substrate do not have air gaps disposed therebetween. The air gaps may include first air gaps, and the device may further include second air gaps disposed between adjacent ones of the second conductive patterns in the second region. Adjacent ones of the second conductive patterns overlying a second region of the substrate may not have air gaps disposed therebetween.
