Abstract:Characteristics of photosensitive low-k methylsilsesquioxane ͑MSQ͒ were investigated by the use of electron-beam lithography. Photosensitive low-k MSQ makes it possible to realize via and trench structures for Cu damascene technology without dry etching processes in the multilevel interconnect integration of ultralarge scale-integrated circuits. In this paper the dependences of critical dimensions of developed patterns on exposure dose and hold time after exposure were investigated. Consequently the aspect rat… Show more
