  • Publication number: 20150091172
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of forming pore sealing layer for porous low-k dielectric interconnects. The method is performed by removing hard mask layer before pore sealing and/or applying pore sealing layer before etching etch stop layer (ESL). These methods at least have advantages that aspect ratio is improved, line distortion introduced by the hard mask layer is avoided, and critical dimension is less affected by pore sealing layer.
