Abstrakt: We propose new precursors for bulk low-$k$ films with plasma damage resistance. Our newly designed precursors contain long-chain hydrocarbon groups such as i-butyl and n-propyl groups. Using these precursors, we successfully produced films containing Si--CH2--Si groups by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The plasma damage resistance of these films under NH3plasma treatment was studied. It was found that the increase in the $k$-value ($\Delta k$) is smaller in films with more Si--CH2--Si groups.
