摘要： A first PECVD process incorporating a silicon oxide precursor alone and then with an organo-silicon precursor with increasing flow while the flow of the silicon oxide precursor is reduced to zero provides a graded carbon adhesion layer whereby the content of C increases with layer thickness and a second PECVD process incorporating an organo-silicon precursor including an organic porogen provides a multiphase ultra-low k dielectric. The multiphase ultra-low k PECVD process uses high frequency radio frequency power just above plasma initiation in a PECVD chamber. An energy post treatment is also provided. A porous SiCOH dielectric material having a k less than 2.7 and a modulus of elasticity greater than 7 GPa is formed.

摘要： In a multilevel microelectronic integrated circuit, air comprises permanent line level dielectric and ultra low-K materials are via level dielectric. The air is supplied to line level subsequent to removal of sacrificial material by clean thermal decomposition and assisted diffusion of byproducts through porosities in the IC structure. Optionally, air is also included within porosities in the via level dielectric. By incorporating air to the extent produced in the invention, intralevel and interlevel dielectric values are minimized.
