Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first interlayer dielectric layer disposed over a substrate, metal wirings, a second interlayer dielectric layer disposed over the first interlayer dielectric layer and the metal wirings, a first air gap and a second air gap. The metal wirings are embedded in the first interlayer dielectric layer, and arranged with a first space or a second space between the metal wirings. The second space has a greater length than the first space. The first air gap is formed by the second interlayer dielectric layer and formed in a first area sandwiched by adjacent two metal wirings arranged with the first space. The second air gap is formed by the second interlayer dielectric layer and formed in a second area sandwiched by adjacent two metal wirings arranged with the second space therebetween. No adjacent two metal wirings are arranged with a space smaller than the first space.

Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, a first dielectric layer is formed over a substrate, first recesses are formed in the first dielectric layer. Metal wirings extending is a first direction are formed in the first recesses. A mask layer is formed over the metal wirings and the first dielectric layer, which includes a first opening extending in the first direction and is located above a space between adjacent two metal wirings. A first groove corresponding to the first opening is formed between the adjacent two metal wirings by etching the first dielectric layer using the mask layer as an etching mask. A second dielectric layer is formed so that a first air gap is formed in the first groove. A width of the first opening in a perpendicular direction to the first direction is smaller than a space between the adjacent two metal wirings.
