Popis: Nanoporous organosilicate glass (OSG) films with low dielectric constant (low-k) prepared by spin-on technique are the prospective materials for sub-5 nm technology node in semiconductor manufacturing technology. Nanoporous OSG films with different content of methyl -CH3 terminal groups were studied. AFM technique in PFQNM mode was adopted for the Young's modulus evaluation of low-k dielectric films. It is shown that the Young's modulus decreases with the methyl groups concentration increase as a result of polymer structure transformation due to the loss of the silicon-oxygen network continuity.
