  • Forming openings within integrated circuits
    Publication number: 20030203592
    Abstract: An ultraviolet sensitive material may be formed within a semiconductor structure covered with a suitable hard mask. At an appropriate time, the underlying ultraviolet sensitive material may be exposed to ultraviolet radiation, causing the material to exhaust through the overlying hard mask. As a result, an air gap may be created having desirable characteristics as a dielectric.
