The circuit structure includes at least two generally parallel conductor
structures, and a plurality of substantially horizontal layers of layer
dielectric material interspersed with substantially horizontally
extending relatively low dielectric constant (low-k) volumes. The
substantially horizontal layers and the substantially horizontally
extending volumes are generally interposed between the at least two
generally parallel conductor structures. Also included are a plurality of
substantially vertically extending relatively low-k volumes sealed within
the substantially horizontal layers and the substantially horizontally
extending volumes between the at least two generally parallel conductor
structures. The substantially vertically extending relatively low-k
volumes and the substantially horizontally extending relatively low-k
volumes reduce parasitic capacitance between the at least two generally
parallel conductor structures as compared to an otherwise comparable
microelectronic circuit not including the relatively low-k volumes.
