Abstract

Polymeric sols of SiO2 or siloxane polymers in n-propanol were investigated for use as dielectric and planarization layers on patterned silicon wafers for device application. Spin coating of the sol (SOG) resulted in rapid gelation through solvent evaporation but cracking often occurred on heating. This study examined the influence of SOG composition, deposition process and heating rate on film planarization and cracking. Planarization was found to be enhanced by layer thickness, but cracking stability was reduced. Sequential drying of the applied SOG layers and use of trlethano-lamine as a complexing base was found to significantly reduce cracking tendency in the films.
