摘要:
A method for depositing a low dielectric constant film is provided by reacting a gas mixture including one or more linear, oxygen-free organosilicon compounds, one or more oxygen-free hydrocarbon compounds comprising one ring and one or two carbon-carbon double bonds in the ring, and one or more oxidizing gases. Optionally, the low dielectric constant film is post-treated after it is deposited. In one aspect, the post treatment is an electron beam treatment.

Methods are provided for depositing a silicon carbide layer having significantly reduced current leakage. The silicon carbide layer may be a barrier layer or part of a barrier bilayer that also includes a barrier layer. Methods for depositing oxygen-doped silicon carbide barrier layers are also provided. The silicon carbide layer may be deposited by reacting a gas mixture comprising an organosilicon compound, an aliphatic hydrocarbon comprising a carbon-carbon double bond or a carbon-carbon triple bond, and optionally, helium in a plasma. Alternatively, the silicon carbide layer may be deposited by reacting a gas mixture comprising hydrogen or argon and an organosilicon compound in a plasma.
摘要:
A method for forming sidewall spacers on a gate stack by depositing one or more layers of silicon containing materials using PECVD process(es) on a gate structure to produce a spacer having an overall k value of about 3.0 to about 5.0. The silicon containing materials may be silicon carbide, oxygen doped silicon carbide, nitrogen doped silicon carbide, carbon doped silicon nitride, nitrogen doped silicon oxycarbide, or combinations thereof. The deposition is performed in a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition chamber and the deposition temperature is less than 450° C. The sidewall spacers so produced provide good capacity resistance, as well as excellent structural stability and hermeticity.

摘要:
Low K dielectric films exhibiting low mechanical stress may be formed utilizing various techniques in accordance with the present invention. In one embodiment, carbon-containing silicon oxide films are formed by plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition at low temperatures (300° C. or less). In accordance with another embodiment, as-deposited carbon containing silicon oxide films incorporate a porogen whose subsequent liberation reduces film stress.

摘要:
The present invention generally provides a method for depositing a low dielectric constant film using an e-beam treatment. In one aspect, the method includes delivering a gas mixture comprising one or more organosilicon compounds and one or more hydrocarbon compounds having at least one cyclic group to a substrate surface at deposition conditions sufficient to deposit a non-cured film comprising the at least one cyclic group on the substrate surface. The method further includes substantially removing the at least one cyclic group from the non-cured film using an electron beam at curing conditions sufficient to provide a dielectric constant less than 2.5 and a hardness greater than 0.5 GPa.
