Abstract

The wide variety of low-k dielectric materials and processes for ULSI interconnection were sorted to create generic process flows. Average material and equipment costs were then used as inputs to a generic cost-per-wafer (CPW) model for dielectric deposition (not including the costs of dielectric CMP, metallization, or lithography). The model outputs are internally consistent, and useful for comparison of similar processes.
