The need to substitute SiO2 with low dielectric constant (κ) materials increases with each complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor process generation as interconnect RC delay, crosstalk, and power dissipation play an ever larger role in high-performance integrated circuits. Fluorinated amorphous carbon films (a-C:F,H) with low-κ properties (κ∼2.0–2.4) deposited by plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques provide several advantages including low temperature processing, good gap fill capabilities, minimal moisture absorption, and simple implementation. Several deposition techniques have been examined, including high-density plasma and parallel-plate plasma-assisted CVD. In each case, it is possible to deposit a-C:F,H films with widely varying properties, such as κ and thermal stability. This has led to a good deal of confusion as to what is required to produce useful material. Results from many different sources are examined to develop a coherent picture of the relationships between deposi...
