Abstract

The continued miniaturization towards sub-quarter micron feature size mandates the search for low dielectric constant interlayer dielectric materials. A large number of materials and processing techniques has been suggested, but so far none of the proposed dielectric materials as well as processing techniques have been integrated into standard integrated circuit processing. In this paper, a new approach has been formulated for integration of low-k dielectric materials for future integrated circuits.
