A method of forming a semiconductor device having reduced interconnect-line parasitic capacitance is provided. The method includes the following steps. First, a substrate is provided and a plurality of interconnect lines are formed on the substrate. A barrier layer is then formed. Next, the barrier layer is hardened and thinned so as to make the barrier layer having a thin-film attribute. Following that, a separation layer is formed by filling the space between and above the interconnect lines with a dielectric. Then, the dielectric is foamed. After that, an insulating layer is formed. Finally, the dielectric is condensed such that air gaps are formed in the separation layer.
