Abstract

See full text

A method for reducing a dielectric constant of a film includes (i) forming a dielectric film on a substrate; (ii) treating a surface of the film without film formation, and (III) curing the film. Step (i) includes providing a dielectric film containing a porous matrix and a porogen on a substrate, step (ii) includes, prior to or subsequent to step (iii), treating the dielectric film with charged species of hydrogen generated by capacitively-coupled plasma without film deposition to reduce a dielectric constant of the dielectric film, and step (iii) includes UV-curing the dielectric film to remove at least partially the porogen from the film.
