摘要：
Nanoporous Methylsilsesquioxane (MSSQ) films are a leading candidate for low dielectric constant (k) materials for microelectronic interconnect. Mechanical strength reduces rapidly with lower k (increasing porosity) however, and there is a lack of techniques to characterize these properties in the k! 2 range. This work reports surface acoustic wave spectroscopy characterization of density/porosity and Young's modulus values of a range of Methylsilsesquioxane films from different manufacturers. We show that the results are validated by independent measurements and that nanoindentation measurements consistently overestimate stiffness.
