A damascene structure with reduced capacitance dielectric stacking comprise a passivation, a first dielectric, an etch stop, a second dielectric and a cap layer over a first conductive layer formed on a semiconductor. The passivation, the etch stop, and the cap layers comprise low dielectric constant materials carbon nitride, boron nitride, or boron carbon nitride. The stack is patterned to form a via opening to the first conductive layer. A trench opening is formed stopping on the etch stop layer. A barrier layer of TaN, WN, TaSiN or Ta and a second conductive material is applied to the openings. Passivation, etch stop, or cap layers can be formed with carbon nitride by magnetron sputtering from a graphite target in a nitrogen atmosphere; boron carbon nitride by magnetron sputtering from a graphite target in a nitrogen and B2H6 atmosphere; or boron nitride by PECVD using B2H6, ammonia, and nitrogen.
