Abstract:
Interconnect structures and methods for forming an interconnect structure. A dielectric layer of a metallization level is deposited and a trench is patterned in the dielectric layer. A sacrificial layer is formed in the trench in the dielectric layer. The sacrificial layer is patterned to form a first trench and a second trench separated from the first trench by a section of the sacrificial layer. A first metal interconnect is formed in the first trench, a second metal interconnect is formed in the second trench, and a porous cap layer is formed over the first metal interconnect, the second metal interconnect, and the section of the sacrificial layer. After forming the porous cap layer, the section of the sacrificial layer is removed.

Claim (Index 4):
The interconnect structure of  claim 1  wherein the first spacer has a contacting relationship with a sidewall of the first metal interconnect, and the second spacer has a contacting relationship with a sidewall of the second metal interconnect.
