Description

A low dielectric constant ILD technology has become an issue of paramount importance in reducing interconnect capacitance for high performance and low power ULSIs. Use of SiOF can bring the relative dielectric constant (k) down to 3.3-3.7 and is in use in state-of-the-art 0.35micron generation LSIs. Several organic materials such as parylene-F,N and F-doped PI have been reported for further k reduction (k=2-3). Moreover, recently, a gas-dielectric interconnect process which can potentially reduce k to almost the minimum physical value possible, 1.0 has been proposed. In this paper, several engineering issues and perspectives in various low-k schemes are presented, and its impact on improvement in device performance is discussed.
