A method for making a semiconductor device is provided. The method
includes forming transistor structures on a substrate and forming
interconnect metallization structures in a plurality of levels through
depositing a sacrificial layer. A dual damascene process is performed to
etch trenches and vias, and filling and planarizing the trenches and
vias. The sacrificial layer is etched throughout the plurality of levels
of the interconnect metallization structures, thus leaving a voided
interconnect metallization structure. The voided interconnect
metallization structure is filled with low K dielectric material, thus
defining a low K dielectric interconnect metallization structure.
