Abstract:
An insulation film is formed on a semiconductor substrate by vaporizing a silicon-containing hydrocarbon compound to provide a source gas, introducing a reaction gas composed of the source gas and an additive gas such as an inert gas and oxidizing gas to a reaction space of a plasma CVD apparatus. The silicon-containing hydrocarbon compound includes a cyclosiloxan compound or a linear siloxan compound, as a basal structure, with reactive groups for form oligomers using the basal structure. The residence time of the reaction gas in the reaction space is lengthened by reducing the total flow of the reaction gas in such a way as to form a siloxan polymer film with a. low dielectric constant.
Abstract:
A hard film is formed on an insulation film formed on a semiconductor substrate by vaporizing a silicon-containing hydrocarbon compound to provide a source gas, introducing a reaction gas composed of the source gas and optionally an additive gas such as alcohol to a reaction space of a plasma CVD apparatus, and applying low-frequency RF power and high-frequency RF power. The silicon-containing hydrocarbon compound includes a cyclic Si-containing hydrocarbon compound and/or a linear Si-containing hydrocarbon compound, as a basal structure, with reactive groups for form oligomers using the basal structure. The residence time of the reaction gas in the reaction space is lengthened by reducing the total flow of the reaction gas in such a way as to form a siloxan polymer film with a low dielectric constant.
Abstract:
An insulation film is formed on a semiconductor substrate by vaporizing a silicon-containing hydrocarbon compound to provide a source gas, introducing a reaction gas composed of the source gas and an additive gas such as an inert gas and oxidizing gas to a reaction space of a plasma CVD apparatus, and depositing a siloxan polymer film by plasma polymerization at a temperature of -50null C.-100null C. The residence time of the reaction gas in the reaction space is lengthened by reducing the total flow of the reaction gas in such a way as to form a siloxan polymer film with a low dielectric constant such as 2.5.
