titleOfInvention |
Sidewall protection of low-k material during etching and ashing |
abstract |
A method for protecting an exposed low-k surface is described. The method includes providing a substrate having a low-k insulation layer formed thereon and one or more mask layers overlying the low-k insulation layer with a pattern formed therein. Additionally, the method includes transferring the pattern in the one or more mask layers to the low-k insulation layer using one or more etching processes to form a trench and/or via structure in the low-k insulation layer. The method further includes forming an insulation protection layer on exposed surfaces of the trench and/or via structure during and/or following the one or more etching processes by exposing the substrate to a film forming compound containing C, H, and N. Thereafter, the method includes removing at least a portion of the one or more mask layers using a mask removal process. |
