A base layer, comprising an electrically conductive element, is formed. An
upper layer, including a third, lower planarization stop layer, a second
layer and a first, upper layer is formed on the base layer. A keyhole
opening is formed through the upper layer to expose a surface of an
electrically conductive element in the base layer. The first layer has an
overhanging portion extending into the opening so that the opening in the
first layer is shorter than in the second layer. A dielectric material is
deposited into the keyhole opening to create a self-converged void within
the deposited dielectric material. In some examples the keyhole forming
step comprises increasing the volume of the first layer while in other
examples the keyhole forming step comprises etching back the second
layer.
