0.5$\mu$m 이하 급의 device에서 TEOS/O3 BPSG 박막을 층간절연막(Interlayer Dielectric)으로 사용하여, 평탄화를 위해 etchback 공정을 적용할 때 BPSG 박막이 가지는 구조적, 화학적 불안정성으로 인해 B,P 농도의 변화나 crack 발생 현상이 일어날 수 있다. 본 실험에서는 이러한 현상을 억제하기 위해 농도를 달리한 이층막의 증착, PR strip 시에 사용하는 wet chemical의 변경 및 증착후 치밀화(densificaiton)공정추가 등의 방법을 사용하였으며, 이에 따른 박막 특성의 변화를 조사하였다.

Poly(p-xylylene) (PPX) is most easily prepared by a vapor deposition polymerization (VDP) of [2, 2]paracychophane, as described by Gorham.$^1$ Poly(tetrafluoro-p-xylylene) (F-PPX) is of interest in view of its potential applications as an interlayer dielectric material in high-speed integrated circuits, since it has an extremely low dielectric constant (〈2.35).$^2$ (omitted)

In this study, we verify th effects of pattern density on interlayer dielectric chemical mechanical polishing process based on the analysis of Preston's equation and confirm this analysis by several experiments. Appropriate modeling equation, transformed form Preston's equations used in glass polishing, will be suggested and described the effects of this modeling during pattern wafer ILD CMP. Results indicate that the modeling is well agreed to middle density structure of the die in pattern wafer, but has some error in low and high density structure of the die. Actually, the die used in Fab, was designed to have a appropriate density, therefore this modeling will be suitable for estimating the results of ILD CMP.

Zirconium oxide films have been synthesized by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering deposition on n-Si(001) substrate with metal zirconium target at variant $O_2$ partial pressures. The influences of $O_2$ partial pressures of the morphology, deposition rate, microstructure, and the dielectric constant of $ZrO_2$ have been discussed. The results show that deposition rate of $ZrO_2$ films decreases, the roughness, and the thickness of the native $SiO_2$ interlayer increases with the increase of $O_2$ partial pressure. $ZrO_2$ films synthesized at low $O_2$ partial pressure are amorphous and monoclinic polycrystalline in nanometer scale at low $O_2$ partial pressure. The relative dielectrics of $ZrO_2$ films are in the range of 12 to 25.

Using optimized sputtering condition of a-Si and $SiO_2$ thin film, we can obtained the large grained poly-Si film on PES substrate. The gate dielectric grown by plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition, laser activation and organic interlayer dielectric material make TFTs on PES possible with mobility of $11cm^2/Vs$ (nMOS) and $7cm_2/Vs$ (pMOS).

We studied the electrical characteristics of low-k SiOCR interlayer dielectric(ILD) films fabricated by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The precursor bis-trimethylsilylmethane (BTMSM) was introduced into the reaction chamber with the various flow rates. The absorption intensities of Si-O-$CH_x$, bonding group and Si-$CH_x$, bonding group changed synchronously for the variation of precursor flow rate, but the intensity of Si-O-Si(C) responded asynchronously with the $CH_x$, combined bonds. The SiOCH films revealed ultra low dielectric constant around 2.1(1) and reduced further below 2.0 by heat treatments.

Polyimide(PI) films have been considered as the interlayer dielectric materials due to low dielectric constant, low water absorption, high gap-fill and planarization capability. The PI film was etched with using inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The etching characteristics such as etch rate and selectivity were evaluated to gas mixing ratio. High etch rate was 8300$\AA$/min and vertical profile was approximately acquired 90$^{\circ}$ at CF$_4$/(CF$_4$+O$_2$) of 0.2. The selectivies of polyimide to PR and SiO$_2$ were 1.2, 5.9, respectively. The etching profiles of PI films with an aluminum pattern were measured by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The chemical states on the PI film surface were investigated by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Radical densities of oxygen and fluorine in different gas mixing ratio of 07CF4 were investigated by optical emission spectrometer (OES).

We formed $SiO_2:F$ films by low-temperature process called Liquid Phase Deposition(LPD) and investigated its electrical and physical properties. Because of the use of room-temperature and no special vacuum apparatus for forming $SiO_2:F$ films, this technique can have some advantages related with the application to dielectric interlayer for multilevel structure in ULSI devices. The growth rate 100nm/hr was obtained at the growth solution of 2.5mol/l. The P-etch rate showed a similar or better tendency compared with $SiO_2$ films formed by CVD, Sputter, E-beam evaporator etc.. The fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra revealed that the contained fluorine atoms exist uniform throughout the formed $SiO_2$ films. The Scanning Electron Microscope images showed that LPD-$SiO_2$ films could be stably grown on silicon substrates and the good step-coverage could also be obtained, which indicates that the LPD-$SiO_2$ films have some possibility of the application to planarization and interlayer dielectric films which are vitally necessary to achieve the multilevel interconnection in ULSI. The I-V characteristics has some distinct differences according to the concentration of growth solution.
