    Abstract: This invention provides a stable process for depositing films which include silicon and nitrogen, such as antireflective coatings of silicon oxynitride. Nitrogen is employed to permit lower flow rates of the process gas containing silicon, thereby reducing the deposition rate and providing better control of film thickness. Additionally, the use of nitrogen stabilizes the process, improving film uniformity, and provides a higher-quality film. The invention is capable of providing more accurate and easier fabrication of structures requiring uniformly thin films containing silicon, nitrogen, and, optionally, oxygen, such as antireflective coatings.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming thin copolymer layers having low dielectric constants on semiconductor substrates includes in situ formation of p-xylylenes, or derivatives thereof, from solid or liquid precursors such as cyclic p-xylylene dimer, p-xylene, 1,4-bis(formatomethyl)benzene, or 1,4-bis(N-methyl-aminomethyl)benzene. P-xylylene is copolymerized with a comonomer having labile groups that are converted to dispersed gas bubbles after the copolymer layer is deposited on the substrate. Preferred comonomers comprise diazocyclopentadienyl, diazoquinoyl, formyloxy, or glyoxyloyloxy groups.

    Abstract: A silicon oxide film is deposited on a substrate by first introducing a process gas into a chamber. The process gas includes a gaseous source of silicon (such as silane), a gaseous source of fluorine (such as SiF.sub.4), a gaseous source of oxygen (such as nitrous oxide), and a gaseous source of nitrogen (such as N.sub.2). A plasma is formed from the process gas by applying a RF power component. Deposition is carried out at a rate of at least about 1.5 .mu.m/min. The resulting FSG film is stable and has a low dielectric constant.
