Abstract

An interconnection structure, along with methods of forming such, are described. The structure includes a dielectric material and a conductive feature extending through the dielectric material. The conductive feature includes a conductive material and has a first top surface. The structure further includes a dummy conductive feature disposed adjacent the conductive feature in the dielectric material, and the dummy conductive feature has a second top surface substantially co-planar with the first top surface. An air gap is formed in the dummy conductive feature.
