Abstract

A plasma deposited SiOC very low k (VLK) interlayer dielectric (ILD) film has been developed which can be tuned to 2.5 = k = 3.0, demonstrates very good thermal stability, excellent adhesion properties, acceptable hardness, and an indication that it may be extendible to k < 2.5. This paper will disclose properties of this SiOC film which are important to a VLK ILD application.
