Chemical oxide removal of plasma damaged SiCOH low k dielectrics

A method for removing damages of a dual damascene structure after plasma etching is disclosed. The method comprises the use of sublimation processes to deposit reactive material onto the damaged regions and conditions to achieve a controlled removal of the damaged region. Furthermore a semiconductor...
