Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor device, includes forming a conductive layer in a recessed portion of a porous dielectric layer, partially removing a top portion of the conductive layer while maintaining a height of the porous dielectric layer, forming a conformal cap layer on the porous dielectric layer and the conductive layer in the recessed portion, polishing the conformal cap layer to form a gap in the conformal cap layer, such that an upper surface of the porous dielectric layer is exposed through the gap and an upper surface of the conductive layer is protected by the cap layer, and performing a heat treatment to burn out a pore filler of the porous dielectric layer through the exposed upper surface of the porous dielectric layer.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 12 , wherein an upper portion of the conformal cap layer has a width which is greater than a width of a lower portion of the conformal cap layer.
