METHOD OF FORMING A FLUORINATED SILICON OXIDE LAYER USING PLASMA CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION

A method of forming a fluorinated silicon oxide dielectric layer by plasma chemical vapor deposition. The method includes the steps of creating a plasma in a plasma chamber and introducing a silicon-containing gas, a fluorine-containing gas, oxygen and an inert gas such that the gases are excited by...

Zusammenfassung:A method of forming a fluorinated silicon oxide dielectric layer by plasma chemical vapor deposition. The method includes the steps of creating a plasma in a plasma chamber and introducing a silicon-containing gas, a fluorine-containing gas, oxygen and an inert gas such that the gases are excited by the plasma and react proximate a substrate to form a fluorinated silicon oxide layer on the surface of the substrate. The fluorinated layer formed has a dielectric constant which is less than that of a silicon oxide layer.
