摘要 |
Embodiments of the invention describe methods for forming fluorocarbon (CF) films for semiconductor devices. According to one embodiment, the method includes providing a substrate, depositing a CF film on the substrate, generating, in the absence of a plasma, a treatment gas containing a gaseous specie having a molecular dipole, and treating the CF film with the treatment gas containing the gaseous specie having the molecular dipole to reduce the number of dangling bonds in the CF film. According to some embodiments, the method further includes depositing a second CF film on the treated CF film. According to some embodiments, the CF films may be deposited using a microwave plasma source containing a radial line slot antenna (RLSA).
