Inhalt:
The feasibility of CMP for interconnect-schemes based on different low-k approaches was investigated. Low-k stacks based on porous MSQ material capped with different dielectric barriers could pass conventional CMP processes without any significant damage. Low-k stacks based on porous SiO2-Aerogel could not meet the stability requirements at present. Airgap architectures were found to be very less sensitive regarding CMP and exhibit an excellent mechanical stability.
