The present invention provides an interconnect system. The interconnect
system includes a substrate, a first dielectric layer deposited upon the
substrate. The interconnect system further includes at least two
electrically conductive interconnect lines formed upon the first
dielectric layer. Each of the at least two interconnect lines have a top
surface and side surfaces. Adjacent side surfaces of two adjacent
interconnect lines define therebetween a space that has a dielectric
constant substantially equal to 1. A dielectric film is bonded upon the
top surface of the at least two interconnect lines. The dielectric film
substantially prevents obstruction of the space by further process.
