Low-Dielectric-Constant-Film Deposition with Various Gases in a Helicon Plasma Reactor
View through CrossRef
Low-dielectric-constant SiOF films are deposited using O2/SiF4 and O2/FSi(OC2H5)3 mixtures in a
helicon plasma reactor, and good quality films can be obtained without intentional heating or biasing of the substrate.
Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) is used to study the relation between the relative densities of the radicals and
the film properties. The OES data imply that the source gases are highly dissociated above the RF power of 900 W where
the helicon mode is generated. Consequently, the mechanism of helicon plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is
different from that of thermal CVD. In the case of thermal CVD, the source gases react chemically on the
high-temperature substrate and form films. However, in the case of helicon wave plasma CVD, the source gases are highly
dissociated in the high-density plasma and many radicals are produced, that react on the substrate. SiOF films are made
in the case of O2/SiF4 but CF/SiOF composite films are made in the case of O2/FSi(OC2H5)3, where
FSi(OC2H5)3 is highly dissociated in plasma and C participates in the film formation. Films with a low
dielectric constant of below 3.0 can be made.
Title: Low-Dielectric-Constant-Film Deposition with Various Gases in a Helicon Plasma Reactor
Description:
Low-dielectric-constant SiOF films are deposited using O2/SiF4 and O2/FSi(OC2H5)3 mixtures in a
helicon plasma reactor, and good quality films can be obtained without intentional heating or biasing of the substrate.
Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) is used to study the relation between the relative densities of the radicals and
the film properties.
The OES data imply that the source gases are highly dissociated above the RF power of 900 W where
the helicon mode is generated.
Consequently, the mechanism of helicon plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is
different from that of thermal CVD.
In the case of thermal CVD, the source gases react chemically on the
high-temperature substrate and form films.
However, in the case of helicon wave plasma CVD, the source gases are highly
dissociated in the high-density plasma and many radicals are produced, that react on the substrate.
SiOF films are made
in the case of O2/SiF4 but CF/SiOF composite films are made in the case of O2/FSi(OC2H5)3, where
FSi(OC2H5)3 is highly dissociated in plasma and C participates in the film formation.
Films with a low
dielectric constant of below 3.
0 can be made.
