Zusammenfassung:A method for improving adhesion of a low k dielectric to a barrier layer. A substrate covered by an insulating layer having copper interconnects is provided. A sealing layer is formed on the copper interconnects and the insulating layer. A plasma treatment is performed on the sealing layer by a reaction gas including at least one of CO2, NH3, NO2, SiH4, trimethylsilane, and tetramethylsilane. A low k dielectric layer is formed on the sealing layer.
