Abstract
A method for forming a semiconductor structure includes following operations. A hybrid layered structure is formed. The hybrid layered structure includes at least a 2D material layer and a first 3D material layer. Portions of the hybrid layered structure are removed to form a plurality of conductive features and at least an opening between the conductive features. A dielectric material is formed to fill the opening and to form an air gap sealed within.
