    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an interconnect structure for connecting devices of a semiconductor substrate. The interconnect structure includes a dielectric layer over the substrate and a continuous conductive body passing through the dielectric layer. The continuous conductive body is made up of a lower body region and an upper body region. The lower body region has a first width defined between opposing lower sidewalls of the continuous conductive body, and the upper body region has a second width defined between opposing upper sidewalls of the continuous conductive body. The second width is less than the first width. A barrier layer separates the continuous conductive body from the dielectric layer.

    Abstract: A method includes providing a structure having a gate stack; first gate spacers; a second gate spacer over one of the first gate spacers and having an upper portion over a lower portion; a dummy spacer; an etch stop layer; and a dummy cap. The method further includes removing the dummy cap, resulting in a first void above the gate stack and between the first gate spacers; removing the dummy spacer, resulting in a second void above the lower portion and between the etch stop layer and the upper portion; depositing a layer of a decomposable material into the first and the second voids; depositing a seal layer over the etch stop layer, the first and the second gate spacers, and the layer of the decomposable material; and removing the layer of the decomposable material, thereby reclaiming at least portions of the first and the second voids.

    Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a semiconductor structure including an inter-level dielectric (ILD) layer overlying a substrate. A conductive via is disposed within the ILD layer. A plurality of conductive wires overlie the ILD layer. The plurality of conductive wires includes a first conductive wire laterally offset a second conductive wire. A dielectric structure is disposed laterally between the first and second conductive wires. The dielectric structure includes a first dielectric liner, a dielectric layer, and an air-gap. The air-gap is disposed between an upper surface of the first dielectric liner and a lower surface of the dielectric layer. A dielectric capping layer is disposed along an upper surface of the dielectric structure. The dielectric capping layer continuously extends between opposing sidewalls of the dielectric structure and is laterally offset from the plurality of conductive wires.

    Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a semiconductor structure including a first inter-level dielectric (ILD) structure overlying a substrate. A conductive contact directly overlies the substrate and is disposed within the first ILD structure. A conductive wire directly overlies the conductive contact. A conductive capping layer overlies the conductive wire such that the conductive capping layer continuously extends along an upper surface of the conductive wire. A second ILD structure overlies the conductive capping layer. The second ILD structure is disposed along opposing sides of the conductive wire. A pair of air-gaps are disposed within the second ILD structure. The conductive wire is spaced laterally between the pair of air-gaps. A dielectric capping layer is disposed along an upper surface of the conductive capping layer. The dielectric capping layer is spaced laterally between the pair of air-gaps and is laterally offset from an upper surface of the first ILD structure.
