Method of patterning a low-k dielectric using a hard mask

By using a non-metallic hard mask for patterning low-k dielectric materials of advanced semiconductor devices, an enhanced degree of etch fidelity is obtained. The present invention may readily be applied to via first-trench last, trench first-via last schemes.
