Abstract

The invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a method for processing a porous low-K-value dielectric by plasmas. The method for processing the porous low-K-value dielectric by the plasmas, disclosed by the invention, comprises the following step of enabling the plasmas and a porous low-K-value dielectric film to react by exciting corresponding gas to be plasmas with high polymer density to form passivation layers on the surface of the film so as to seal holes. Thus the diffusion effect of following metallic or nonmetallic substance deposition procedure on porous low-K-value materials can be effectively reduced so as to restrain the increase of the K value and the reduction of performances of devices; in addition, no residue remains to affect the following procedures.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a method for treating porous low-K value media by using plasma. Background technique [0002] In the semiconductor manufacturing process, after the deposition or etching of the porous low-K dielectric film, the metal or non-metal will diffuse into the surface or sidewall through the pores during the subsequent metal or non-metal deposition process, thus causing This leads to an increase in the K value of the K dielectric film and a decrease in device performance. [0003] Chinese patent (Patent No.: 200680008967.8, for sidewall hole sealing of low-K dielectrics) discloses a method of coating thermally decomposable polymers on the surface of porous low-K dielectrics to achieve the purpose of sealing holes, so as to prevent metal or Permeation or diffusion of non-metallic porous low-K value materials; however, the above-mentioned patented process will be left over when t...
