Abstract
Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposited carbon doped oxide films were studied using trimethyl silane precursors with dielectric constant in the range of 2.75 to 3.62. Numerous film properties such as film stresses, hardness, modulus, refractive indices, and chemical bonding were characterized. The results indicated a linear relationship between dielectric constant, and hardness and modulus. The introduction of methyl group in the film reduced its dielectric constant in comparison with silica.
