    摘要: The present invention provides a method of forming a semiconductor structure having an ultra low-K dielectric material that adheres well to the substrate. The method includes depositing a low-K material on the top surface of a substrate at a low temperature of no more than 250° by a CVD or spin-on process. The dielectric material is then cured by placing the substrate with the dielectric film in an environment where the temperature is regulated at about 400° or less as the dielectric film is being subjected to a plasma treatment or an E-beam treatment or UV treatment. The environment may further include one or more gases or a mixture of gases selected from the group consisting of H2, N2, NH3, CO2, all hydride gases and a mixture of these gases.

    摘要: A method of protecting a low k dielectric layer that is preferably comprised of a material containing Si, O, C, and H is described. The dielectric layer is subjected to a gas plasma that is generated from a CXHY gas which is preferably ethylene. Optionally, hydrogen may be added to the CXHY gas. Another alternative is a two step plasma process involving a first plasma treatment of CXHY or CXHY combined with H2 and a second plasma treatment with H2. The modified dielectric layer provides improved adhesion to anti-reflective layers and to a barrier metal layer in a damascene process. The modified dielectric layer also has a low CMP rate that prevents scratch defects and an oxide recess from occurring next to the metal layer on the surface of the damascene stack. The plasma treatments are preferably done in the same chamber in which the dielectric layer is deposited.

    摘要: A bilayer porous low dielectric constant (low-k) interconnect structure and methods of fabricating the same are presented. A preferred embodiment having an effective dielectric constant of about 2.2 comprises a bottom deposited dielectric layer and a top deposited dielectric layer in direct contact with the former. The bottom layer and the top layer have same atomic compositions, but a higher dielectric constant value k. The bottom dielectric layer serves as an etch stop layer for the top dielectric layer, and the top dielectric layer can act as CMP stop layer. One embodiment of making the structure includes forming a bottom dielectric layer having a first porogen content and a top dielectric layer having a higher porogen content. A curing process leaves lower pore density in the bottom dielectric layer than that left in the top dielectric layer, which leads to higher dielectric value k in the bottom dielectric layer.

    摘要: A method of lowering the dielectric constant of an organosilicon low k dielectric layer while improving the hardness and thermal stability is provided. A deposited layer of carbon doped oxide, HSQ, or MSQ is cured and treated with a He plasma which improves hardness for a subsequent CMP step and lowers the dielectric constant. There is no loss of H2O or CH4 during the He treatment. The low k dielectric layer is then treated with a H2 plasma which converts some of the Si—O and Si—CH3 bonds near the surface to Si—H bonds, thereby further lowering the dielectric constant and increasing thermal stability that improves breakdown resistance. Moisture uptake is also reduced. The method is especially useful for interconnect schemes with deep sub-micron ground rules. Surprisingly, the k value obtained from two different plasma treatments is lower than when two He treatments or two H2 treatment are performed.
