Abstract

A method includes forming a transistor over a substrate; forming a front-side interconnection structure over the transistor; after forming the front-side interconnection structure, removing the substrate; after removing the substrate, forming a backside via to be electrically connected to the transistor; depositing a dielectric layer to cover the backside via; forming an opening in the dielectric layer to expose the backside via; forming a spacer structure on a sidewall of the opening; after forming a spacer structure, forming a conductive feature in the opening to be electrically connected to the backside via; and after forming the conductive feature, forming an air gap in the spacer structure.
