AbstractLow dielectric constant silica films are made using a surfactant templated sol-gel process (K∼2.5) or an ambient temperature and pressure aerogel process (K∼1.5). This paper will present the in-situ measurement and analysis of stress development during the making of these films, from the onset of drying till the end of heating. The drying stress is measured by a cantilever beam technique; the thermal stress is measured by monitoring the wafer curvature using a laser deflection method. During the course of drying, the surfactant templated films experience a low drying stress due to the influence of the surfactant on surface tension and extent of siloxane condensation. The aerogel films first develop a biaxial tensile stress due to solidification and initial drying. At the final stage of drying where the drying stress vanishes, dilation of the film recreates the porosity of the wet gel state, reducing the residual stress to zero. For the surfactant templated films, very small residual tensile stress remains after the heat treatment is finished (∼30MPa). Aerogel film has almost no measurable stress developed in the calcination process. In situ spectroscopic ellipsometry analysis during drying and heating, and TGA/DTA are all used to help understand the stress development.

A sol-gel process was used to prepare polyimide-silica hybrid films from the polyimide precursors and TEOS in N,N- dimethyl acetamide, then the hybrid film was treated with hydrofluoric acid to remove the dispersed silica particles, leaving pores with diameters between 80nm to 1µm, depending on the size of silica particles. The structure and dielectric constant of the hybrid and porous films were characterized by FTIR,SEM. The porous films displayed relatively low dielectric constant compared to the hybrid polyimide-silica films.

Plasma damage and metal ion penetration are critical issues for porous low-dielectric-constant (low-k) materials used in the back-end-of-line interconnects. This study proposed a novel process with in-situ repairing plasma-induced damage and capping a barrier for porous low-k materials by Hexamethyldisilazane (HDMS) plasma treatment. For a plasma-damaged porous low-k material, its surface hydrophilic state was transformed to hydrophobic state by HDMS plasma treatment, revealing that damage was repaired. Simultaneously, a dielectric film was capped onto the porous low-k material, and displayed better barrier capability against Cu migration. Additionally, the breakdown reliability of the stacked dielectric was enhanced by the means of HDMS plasma treatment. The optimized HDMS plasma treatment time was found to be 10 s. Therefore, this proposed HDMS plasma treatment processing is a promising technique for highly applicable low-k material used for advanced technology nodes.

AbstractPolyimide (PI)/mica hybrid films were successfully prepared by in situ condensation polymerization method, in which the mica particles were modified by coupling agent γ-aminopropyltriethoxy silane (APTS) to strengthen the interaction between the mica particles and PI matrix. The morphology, structure, thermal and mechanical properties as well as dielectric properties of PI films were systematically studied via Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR spectrometer), Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), tensile experiments, Thermal mechanical analyzer (TMA), impedance analyzer, etc. The results indicated that the mica particles were dispersed homogeneously in PI matrix, leading to an improvement of the mechanical property, thermal stability and hydrophobicity. It was novel to notice that hybrid films exhibited low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and low dielectric constant simultaneously. The CTE and dielectric constant of hybrid film dropped to 25.36 ppm/k and 2.42 respectively, in the presence of 10 wt% mica into polyimide matrix.
