METHOD OF LOW-K DIELECTRIC FILM REPAIR

摘要

An apparatus, system and method for repairing a carbon depleted low-k material in a low-k dielectric film layer includes identifying a repair chemistry having a hydrocarbon group, the repair chemistry configured to repair the carbon depleted low-k material and applying the identified repair chemistry meniscus to the low-k dielectric film layer such that the carbon depleted low-k material in the low-k dielectric film layer is sufficiently exposed to the repair chemistry meniscus substantially repairing the low-k material. The repaired low-k material exhibits substantially equivalent low-k dielectric characteristics of the low-k dielectric film layer.
