Popis: Low-dielectric-constant (k) materials for large-scale integration (LSI) interconnect insulators are required to meet the fast development of high-speed devices. Introducing nanopores into dielectrics reduces their k effectively but also markedly degrades film strength (Young's modulus). Developing a new low-k material is important for a stable integration with multilevel interconnections. We have investigated a low-k material of boron nitride containing methyl (methyl BN) using tris(dimethylamino)boron (TMAB) gas. This is the first report on the characteristics of a methyl BN film deposited using TMAB. We have succeeded in fabricating a low-k material with k 26 GPa. Moreover, the film can easily be etched using CF4 gas. The methyl BN film as a low-k material can readily be applicable to next-generation node technology devices.
