摘要

The organic low-k dielectric materials are one of the potential materials for low-k and ultra low-k interconnect process technology development. In this work, a qualitative study was performed on surface roughness of via side walls in etch process development for dual damascene technology. It was found that characterisation of the blanket low-k films after plasma exposures will not preclude a problem-free behaviour of post patterned structures eg., vias and trenches. Surface morphology might be pattern dependant when exposed to plasma etch conditions. We have performed this study in the context of spin-on low-k organic polymer material, SiLK~(TM) (A Trade Mark of Dow Chemicals). When measured on blanket films, the low-k material exhibited a marginal roughness levels on the surface after exposing to plasma chemistries that are used in the dry etch process to form the dual damascene structures. However during etching of vias, side-wall roughness was observed on vias significantly increased as compared to the roughness levels seen on the blanket films. This was attributed to the patterned dependancy on etch mechanism. Further, reduction of side-wall roughness was achieved by optimising the etch recipe during dual-damascene formation. This was confirmed by a qualitative method of SEM cross-section pictures.
