  • Patent number: 7759244
    Abstract: A method for fabricating an inductor structure or a dual damascene structure includes following steps. First, a dielectric layer is provided. Subsequently, a first etching process is performed on the dielectric layer so as to form a first opening in the dielectric layer. A polymer is also formed in the first opening during the first etching process. Next, a polymer-removing step is performed to remove the polymer. Thereafter, a second etching process is performed on the dielectric layer to form a second opening in the dielectric layer. Furthermore, the first opening and the second opening are filled with a conductive material so as to form an inductor structure or a dual damascene structure.
