Abstract

The SiOC film as inter layer insulator was researched the reason of the decreasing the dielectric constant by the ionic polarization and electronic polarization, respectively. The dielectric constant was measured using the conventional C-V measurement system, and the reflective index owing to the electronic polarization. Two kinds of dielectric constants were compared and then induced the origin of low-k materials. The chemical properties of the SiOC film were analyzed by the FTIR spectra, and the carbon content was obtained by the deconvoluted data of FTIR spectra. The variation of the carbon content tended to similar to the trend of reflective index, but was in inverse proportion to the dielectric constant. The effect of the electronic polarization did not affect the decreasing the dielectric constant, however the ionic polarization decreased effectively the dielectric constant of the SiOC film.

층간 절연막으로 사용 가능한 SiOC 박막에 대하여 유전상수가 낮아지는 원인을 이온에 의한 분극과 전자에 의한 분극에 대하여 측정하였다. MIS 구조를 이용하여 전형적인 C-V측적법에 의하여 유전상수를 구하였으며, 굴절률을 측정하여 전자에 의한 분극의 효과에 의한 유전상수를 측정하고 서로 비교하였다. SiOC 박막의 화학적인 특성은 FTIR 분석을 이용하였으며, FTIR 분석에서 디컨벌류션한 데이터는 탄소의 함량에 대한 변화를 구하였다. 탄소의 함량변화는 굴절률의 변화와 비슷한 경향성을 나타내었으나, 유전상수와는 반비례하였다. 전자에 의한 분극의 효과는 유전상수가 떨어지는 것에 큰 영향을 주지는 않았으며, 이온에 의한 분극의 효과가 SiOC 박막의 유전상수를 낮게 하는 효과가 더욱 크게 나타났다.
