Abstract

Low dielectric constant fluorinated oxide (SiOF) films were deposited using SiF$_4$/O$_2$/SiH$_4$mixtures by electron cyclotron resonance chemical vapor deposition (ECR CVD). Chemical composition of SiOF films was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-lR). The fluorine content in the SiOF film observed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The dielectric constant decreased with increasing of the SiF$_4$ flow rate about 8sccm. The SiOF film, deposited with SiF$_4$=8 sccm, exhibited a F content of 5 atomic % and a relative dielectric constant 3.45. For evaluating SiOF films stability, humidity tests were performed.
