Abstract
A method for forming a through-substrate-via structure includes forming a via hole in a substrate, depositing a conductive material in the via hole, forming an annular groove in the substrate surrounding the conductive material, and depositing a dielectric material in the annular groove with overhang portions of the deposited dielectric material at a top surface of the groove forming an air gap in an interior portion of the groove.
