摘要
A low-k fluorinated amorphous carbon (a-C:F: dielectric constant 2.5) film as inter-metal dielectric (IMD) has been successfully integrated in 0.18-mu m CMOS technology. The RC delay of a ring oscillator with loaded wiring(length: 10mm) is reduced by 22% using an a-C:F IMD compared with that using a SiO2 IMD. The thermal stability problems from integrating a-C:F IMD with a W plug (deposition temperature. 370 degrees C, film stress: 1.5x10(10)dyne/cm(2)) can be overcome by using post a-C:F deposition anneal. This leads to less a-C:F outgassing at temperatures up to 375 degrees C.
