A semiconductor structure comprises: a first inter-layer dielectric (ILD) over a substrate; a first metal layer; a plurality of second ILDs over the first ILD; and a plurality of second metal layers, each of the second metal layers is over one of the second ILDs. The first ILD is not cured. It has a k value of between about 2.5 and about 3.0, a pore size of smaller than about 10 Å, and a hardness of greater than about 1.5 Gpa. The second ILDs are cured therefore having lower k values of smaller than about 2.5, pore sizes of greater than about 10 Å, and hardness of smaller than about 1.5 Gpa. The semiconductor structure has reduced plasma charge damage from plasma curing.
