Abstract:
A multilevel interconnect structure comprising:a plurality of coplanar first conductors spaced from each other by a first dielectric having a dielectric constant of less than approximately 3.5;a plurality of coplanar second conductors spaced from each other by a second dielectric having a dielectric constant of less than approximately 3.5, wherein said plurality of second conductors are separated by a plurality of regions, and wherein each region is arranged above one of said plurality of first conductors; anda dielectric structure interposed between said coplanar first conductors and said coplanar second conductors, wherein said dielectric structure comprises a third dielectric having a dielectric constant of less than approximately 3.5, and wherein said third dielectric is capped on at least one side with a stress reducing layer.
