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.
