摘要: Abstract Fluorosilicate Glass (FSG) with low dielectric constant currently has been replaced as an alternative to SiO2 for device speed improvement. However, several integration aspects, such Fluorine (F) distribution, F thermal stability, gap fill capability, capacitance reduction and via resistance of FSG prepared by the high density plasma (HDP) chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method are concern sub-0.18-μm devices. In this study, HDP–FSG films show different concentrations at locations on 8-inch wafer. addition, film shows poor stability diffuses out after temperature annealing pressure cook test (PCT). can be improved capping oxide layer. The results indicate that silicon rich (SRO) a better effect blocking diffusion than enhanced (PE-OX). For HDP-FSG all 0.23-μm gaps some 0.21-μm aspect ratio
