Abstract
We have developed a new scheme for SiO2-film preparation in which tetraethoxyorthosilicate (TEOS : Si(OC2H5)4) is photo-dissociated by vacuum ultraviolet Xe2 excimer radiation (λ = 172 nm). The SiO2-films can be deposited at room temperature include a considerable amount of C and H atoms and/or molecules. They show relative-dielectric constants and leakage currents as low as the films prepared with ozone-assisted CVD. We have tried to avoid impurity inclusion by adding O2 or N2O to the raw material TEOS. The addition of O2 results in decrease of C-H inclusion. We have evaluated the electrical properties and gap-filling characteristics by adding the gas. The SiO2-films prepared with the photo-CVD could be useful for a multi-layer-inter-connection technologies of CMP-less and free environmental disruption at ULSI devices processing.
