Popis: This work compares the physical and electrical properties of two species of inorganie low dielectric constant (low-k) chemical vapor deposited (CVD) oxides, F-doped fluorinated silicate glass (FSG, k = 3.5) and C-doped organosilicate glass (OSG, k - 2.9), Experimental results indicate that FSG has a higher thermal stability (>600°C) than OSG (500°C), based on the results of thermal annealing for 30 min in an N 2 ambient. The degradation of the low-k property in OSG is mainly due to the thermal decomposition of methyl (-CH 3 ) groups at temperatures above 500°C. For the Cu gated oxide-sandwiched low-k dielectric metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) capacitors. Cu penetration was observed in both FSG and OSG after the MIS capacitors were bias-lemperature stressed at 250 and 150°C, respectively, with an effective applied field of 0.8 MV/cm. Specifically, Cu appeared to drift more readily in OSG than in FSG, presumably because OSG has a more porous and less dense structure than FSG. The Cu permeation can he impeded by a thin nitride (SiN) harrier layer.
