Problems solved by technology

To control the uniform distribution of the porogen, the process of using ultraviolet light to irradiate the porogen is relatively complicated. At the same time, the use of oxygen plasma will form a dense silicon oxide layer on the surface of silicon oxycarbide, which is not conducive to the discharge of the porogen.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for forming an ultra-low K dielectric layer, which comprises the steps of 1) forming a silicon oxycarbide layer on a silicon substrate according to a chemical vapor deposition method; 2) depositing a photoresist on the silicon oxycarbide layer, and forming a photoresist pattern through photoetching or electron beam exposure; 3) performing He-ion implantation throughthe photoresist pattern; 4) removing the photoresist pattern; 5) performing heat treatment on the He-ion implanted silicon oxycarbide layer; 6) forming a silicon oxycarbide layer with pores; and 7) enabling the silicon oxycarbide layer with pores to have a smooth upper surface through chemical-mechanical polishing. According to the method, an organic pore-forming agent is not used, so that the complex process of removing an organic matter is reduced; a smaller micropore structure is formed by using ion implantation; the distribution of the pores can be controlled by using a porous structure of a regular dot matrix shape, the distribution of the implanted ions and the distribution of the pore are controlled, the dielectric constant of the material is further controlled, and the quality ofthe ultra-low K dielectric layer is improved.
