Extract

Effects of plasma power on the properties of polymerlike organic thin films deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition using the toluene precursor were studied. As the plasma power was increased from 5 to 60 W, the relative dielectric constant increased from 2.53 to 2.85. The film deposited at higher plasma power showed higher thermal stability. The film deposited at 60 W was stable up to 400 °C. All the films were insulating under applied field ≤1 MV/cm.
