A toughening agent composition for increasing the hydrophobicity of an organosilicate glass dielectric film when applied to said film. It includes a component capable of alkylating or arylating silanol moieties of the organosilicate glass dielectric film via silylation, and an activating agent selected from the group consisting of an amine, an onium compound and an alkali metal hydroxide.
摘要:
A method for restoring hydrophobicity to the surfaces of organosilicate glass dielectric films which have been subjected to an etchant or ashing treatment. These films are used as insulating materials in the manufacture of integrated circuits to ensure low and stable dielectric properties in these films. The method deters the formation of stress-induced voids in these films. An organosilicate glass dielectric film is patterned to form vias and trenches by subjecting it to an etchant or ashing reagent in such a way as to remove at least a portion of previously existing carbon containing moieties and reduce hydrophobicity of said organosilicate glass dielectric film. The vias and trenches are thereafter filled with a metal and subjected to an annealing treatment. After the film is subjected to the etchant or ashing reagent, but before being subjected to an annealing treatment, the film is contacted with a toughening agent composition to restore some of the carbon containing moieties and increase the hydrophobicity of the organosilicate glass dielectric film.

The present invention relates to semiconductor device fabrication and more specifically to a method and material for forming high density shallow trench isolation structures in integrated circuits capable of withstanding wet etch treatments. A silica dielectric film is formed on a substrate. The silica dielectric film has a density of from about 1.0 to about 2.3 g/ml, a SiC:SiO bond ratio of about 0.015 or more, a dielectric constant of about 4.0 or less, a breakdown voltage of about 2 MV/cm or more, and a wet etch resistance in a 100:1 by volume mixture of water and hydrogen fluoride of about 30 Å/minute or less.
