A method for fabricating an integrated circuit is provided. A substrate having thereon a first conductive wire and a second conductive wire is provided. A liner is formed on the first conductive wire and second conductive wire. An ashable material layer is filled into a gap between the first conductive wire and second conductive wire. The ashable material layer is then polished to expose a portion of the liner. A cap layer is formed on the ashable material layer and on the exposed liner. A through hole is etched into the cap layer to expose a portion of the ashable material layer. Thereafter, the ashable material layer is removed by way of the through hole. |
