Abstract

Three low dielectric constant organic polymers are being investigated for possible use in a conventional, subtractive etch, multi-level metal process with PVD Al plugs. Material properties, physical properties, planarization ability and etch chemistries are compared, as well as the possibility of using these materials in a low temperature PVD A1 plug process.
