Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to interconnect structures with reduced capacitance and methods of manufacture. The method includes: forming one or more lower metal lines in a dielectric material; forming an airgap structure in an upper dielectric material above the one or more lower metal lines, by subjecting material to a curing process; and forming an upper metal structure above the airgap structure.

Claim (Index 4):
A method, comprising:\n forming one or more lower metal lines in a dielectric material; forming an upper dielectric material above the one or more lower metal lines; etching portions of the upper dielectric material to form a trench; depositing material in the trench; forming an airgap structure in the upper dielectric material above the one or more lower metal lines, by subjecting the material deposited in the trench of the upper dielectric material to a curing process; and forming an upper metal structure above the airgap structure, wherein the forming of the airgap structure is formed as a single airgap structure in alignment with at least one of the one or more lower meal lines and the upper metal structure, and wherein the curing process is a UV cure and the material is an energy removal film.
