  • Abstract
    A novel approach of copper CMP stop layer using uncured extreme low-K was demonstrated to improve the within-wafer Rs uniformity on Cu/extra low-k (XLK) interconnect. This CMP stop layer could be converted into a low dielectric constant film by removing porogen with post CMP treatment, hence its impact on overall´s film capacitance is minimized.
