In recent years, it has become more serious concern to achieve high reliability(EM, SM and TDDB) in Cu/Low-k interconnects. In this paper, we propose the simplest method to improve EM and SM reliability using the conventional SiCN deposition syste...

To reduce the effective dielectric constant (k ) value for 32nm node technology and beyond, the effects of a direct chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process on porous low-k film without a protective cap layer were investigated. It was confirmed...

We have improved ELK film so that it is suitable for the processes used in fabricating Cu interconnects without using a dielectric protection layer for CMP, the so called "direct CMP process". The depth profile of the pore size in the film was suc...

In order to reduce the effective dielectric constant (keff) for the 32 nm technology node and beyond, Direct-CMP of a porous low-k film without a protective cap layer is required. However, the degradation of breakdown electric field (Ebd) has been...
