Abstract

The impact of electron irradiation on ultra-low K (ULK) porous dielectric material used in advanced interconnects is analyzed using spectroscopic and electrical characterizations. The e-beam irradiation modifies the chemical composition, the porosity and the optical indexes. The effects of e-beam curing on electrical properties and dielectric reliability are also evaluated.
