Carbon-doped silicon oxide (SiOCH) films were deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) at low temperatures (27-53 °C). The structural and insulating properties of the films deposited with Ar or N2 plasma were investigated. In the deposition with low plasma density and low substrate temperature; both plasmas produced films with high hydrocarbon (CHn) content. The films prepared using Ar plasma showed a low leakage current of 7 × 10 -10A/cm2 at 1 MV/cm due to the incorporation of CH n groups; while the films with high CHn content prepared using N2 plasma showed poor insulating properties. The deposition using N2 plasma formed films with a defective structure; resulting in a higher etch rate than that of the films deposited with Ar plasma. The deposition with the low-density plasma of inert Ar gas is suitable for the low-temperature deposition of SiOCH films with high resistivity. © 2007 The Japan Society of Applied Physics;
