[0064] First embodiment

[0065] In this embodiment, the temperature change program is a gradient temperature change program that includes two temperature stages, such as figure 2 Shown. in figure 2 Here, the two temperature stages include a first temperature stage 20 and a second temperature stage 22 that are carried out in sequence, wherein the first temperature stage 20 is a high temperature stage; the second temperature stage 22 is a low temperature stage. The temperature of each stage 20 and 22 is related to the dielectric matrix (DielectricMatrix) used. In one embodiment, the temperature of the first temperature stage 20 is, for example, between 250 and 350 degrees Celsius; the temperature of the second temperature stage 22 is, for example, between 200 and 250 degrees Celsius. In one embodiment, during the deposition process of the first temperature stage 20 and the second temperature stage 22, the same main chain precursor and the same porogen are introduced.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for forming an ultra-low dielectric constant dielectric layer. The method is characterized in that the reaction of a dielectric substratum added for deposition is triggered by the regulation of temperature-varying program or pressure-varying program in the process of deposition so as to allow the ultra-low dielectric constant dielectric layer, which is porous, multi-layered and provided with a density gradient, to be formed on the barrier layer of the substratum.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a dielectric layer and its forming method, and in particular to an ultra-low dielectric constant dielectric layer and its forming method. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of integrated circuit technology, more and more attention has been paid to the back-end metal interconnection and low dielectric constant material technology. When the process develops to the field of deep sub-micron components, the RC delay phenomenon caused by the metal interconnection seriously affects the speed of device operation. A method for improving the RC delay may be to use a material with a low dielectric constant as the material of the insulating layer between the multilayer metal interconnections, thereby reducing the parasitic capacitance between the metal layers. [0003] The porous low-k dielectric layer is a dielectric material containing multiple pores. Since the air with a dielectric constant of only 1 is a...
