Pentacene channel OTFT(organic thin film transistor)을 SiOC 절연박막 위에서 film by thermal evaporation 방법을 이용하여 성장시켰다. CVD 방법으로 증착시킨 SiOC 절연막은 조성비에 따라 특성이 달라지므로 절연막 위에서의 펜타센의 화학적 반응을 조사하기 위해서 inorganic-type인 $O_2/(BTMSM\;+\;O_2)$ = 0.5의 비율을 갖는 SiOC 박막을 사용하였다. 팬타센 분자의 말단에서 SiOC 표면에서 Diels-Alder 반응에 의한 이중결합이 깨어지면서 안정된 성장을 하지만 온도가 높아감에 따라 표면에서의 $SN_2$(bimolecular nucleophilic substitution) 반응과 연쇄적인 화학반응에 의해 팬타센의 성장을 방해하는 것으로 나타났다.

SiOC film was deposited by the chemical vapor deposition using BTMSM and oxygen mixed precursor. The characteristic of SiOC film varied with increasing of the gas flow rate ratios. The dielectric constant was obtained by C-V measurement using the structure of metal/SiOC film/Si. The space effect due to the steric hindrance between alkyl group at terminal bond of Si-$CH_3$ made the pores, and increased the thickness. However, the SiOC film due to the lowering of the polarization decreased the thickness and then decreased the dielectric constant. After annealing process, the dielectric constant decreased because of the evaporation of the OH or $H_2O$ sites. The thickness was related to the lowering of the dielectric constant by the reduction of the polarization and the thickness decreased with the decrease of the dielectric constant. The refractive index was in inverse proportion to thickness. The trends of the thickness and refractive index did not change after annealing.

The SiOC film of carbon centered system was prepared using bistrimethylsilylmethane (BTMSM) and oxygen mixed precursor by the chemical vapor deposition. The dielectric constant is measured by MIS(metal/insulator/Si) structure, but it could decrease the reliability because the uniformity is not assured. To research the dielectric constant of SiOC film, the range of low polarization was researched in SiOC film using the optical analysis and hardness, and then calculated the dielectric constant of SiOC film with amorphous structure of high degree. After annealing, the dielectric constant of SiOC film was decreased owing to the lowering of polarization, and FTIR spectra of the main bond was shifted to higher wave number. The main bond of 950~1200 cm-1 was composed of the Si-C and Si-O bonds. The intensity increases in Si-O bond infers the bonding strength became stronger than that of deposited film. Annealed SiOC film showed 2.06 in dielectric constant.

The SiOC film of carbon centered system was prepared using bistrimethylsilylmethane and oxygen mixed precursor by the chemical vapor deposition. The chemical properties of the SiOC film were analyzed by the contact anlge and FTIR spectra. The dielectric constant of the deposited films decreased after annealing process, and the correlation between the increasing the BTMSM/$O_2$ flow rate ratio and the dielectric constant did not exist. However, the trend of increasing or decreasing of the dielectric constant repeated and there is the correlation ship between the dielectric constant and the Si-O-C bond in the range of $950{\sim}1200\;cm^{-1}$. The dielectric constant decreased between samples with the chemical shift. The lowest dielectric constant was 1.65 at the sample, which was observed the chemical shift.

The chemical shift of SiOC film was observed according to the flow rate ratio. SiOC film had the broad main band of $880\sim1190cm^{-1}$ and the sharp Si-$CH_3$ bond at $1252cm^{-1}$, and the peak position of the main bond in the infrared spectra moved to high frequency according to the increasing of an BTMSM flow rate. So the increment of the alkyl group induced the C-H bond condensation in the film, and shows the blueshift in the infrared spectra. In the case of P5000 system of Applied Materials Corporation, the strong bond of Si-CH3 bond in precursor does not enough to dissociated and ionized, because low plasma energy due to the capactive coupled CVD. Therefore, there was the sharp peak of Si-$CH_3$ bond at $1252cm^{-1}$.

The low-k SiOCH thin films were prepared by CCP-PECVD method using BTMSM(Bis-trimethylsilylmethane) precursors deposited on p-Si wafer. The structural complexity originate the complex refractive constants of the films, and resulted the elliptical polarization of the incident linearly polarized light source of Xe-ramp in the range from 190nm to 2100nm. Phase difference and amplitude ratio between s wave and p wave propagating through SiOCH thin film was studied. After annealing, the amplitude of p wave was reduced more than s wave, and phase difference between p and s wave was also reduced.

This paper reports the correlation between dielectric constant and degree of amorphism of the hybrid type Si-O-C thin films. Si-O-C thin films were deposited by high density plasma chemical vapor deposition using bistrimethyl- silylmethane(BTMSM, $H_{9}$C$_3$-Si-C $H_2$-Si-C$_3$ $H_{9}$) and oxygen precursors with various flow rate ratio. As-deposited film and annealed films at 40$0^{\circ}C$ were analyzed by XRD. The Si-O-C thin films were amorphous from XRD patterns. For quantitative analysis, the diffraction pattern of the samples was transformed to radial distribution function by Fourier analysis, and then compared with each other. The degree of amorphism of annealed films was higher than that of as-deposited ones. The dielectric constant varied in accordance with flow rate ratio of precursors. The lowest dielectric constant was obtained from the as-deposited film which has the highest degree of amorphism after annealing.

Low dielectric constant SiOC(-H) films have been prepared by inductively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition using bis-trymethylsilyl-methane (BTMSM) and $O_2$ precursors. The annealing effects on the structural and electrical properties were studied. The results indicate post-annealing could efficiently remove the hydroxyl (-OH) related groups from the as-deposited films and cause the chemical structure re-arrangement, resulting in the more nano-pores being formed in the annealed SiOC(-H) films. The dielectric constant decreased from 2.7 to 2.1, and the refractive index decreased from 1.427 to 1.32.

We studied the dielectric characteristics of low-k SiOCH thin films by Ellipsometry. The SiOCH thin films were prepared by deposition of BTMSM precursors on p-Si wafer by CCP-PECVD method. The nano-porous structural organic/inorganic hybrid-type of SiOCH thin films correlated directly to the formation of low dielectrics close to pore(k=1). The structural groups including highly dense pores in SiOCH thin films originated the anisotropic geometry type of network structure directing to complex refractive characteristics of SiOCH single layer on the p-Si wafer. The linearly polarized beam of Xe-ramp in the range from 190 nm to 2100 nm introduced to the surface of SiOCH thin film, and the reflected beam was Elliptically polarized by complex refractive coefficients of SiOCH dipole groups. The amplitude variation $\Psi$ and phase variation $\Delta$ of the relative reflective coefficients between perpendicular and parallel components to the incident plane were measured by Ellipsometry. The complex optical constants n and k as well as the dielectric constant and thickness of SiOCH thin films were driven by the measured value of $\Psi$ and $\Delta$.
