Patent ID: 7772702

Claim:
An electronic structure with a plurality of interconnects, comprising: a first dielectric layer; a first interconnect above a first portion of said first dielectric layer, wherein said first interconnect comprises a first dielectric spacer directly adjacent to a pair of sidewalls of said first interconnect and directly between said first dielectric layer and the bottom surface of said first interconnect; a second interconnect above a second portion of said first dielectric layer, said second portion of said first dielectric layer continuous with said first portion of said first dielectric layer, wherein said second interconnect comprises a second dielectric spacer directly adjacent to a pair of sidewalls of said second interconnect and directly between said first dielectric layer and the bottom surface of said second interconnect, and wherein said second dielectric spacer is discontiguous from said first dielectric spacer; a second dielectric layer, wherein said second dielectric layer is above said first and said second interconnects; and a gap in between said first dielectric layer, said first interconnect, said second interconnect and said second dielectric layer.
