Processing, Properties, and CMP Characteristics of a Spin-on Polymer: HSQ
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 March 2011
Abstract
The structures and properties of the HSQ film during the cage/network transformation were studied by curing at 300°C for 1 hour. The experimental results show that the ratio of the network/cage structure of the cured HSQ film increases from 0.21 to 0.39 by curing. The porosity of the cured film increases from 10.0% to 12.3 %, while the refractive index decreases from 1.413 to 1.376 during curing. These results suggest that the dependence of the structure and properties of the HSQ film by curing. The CMP characteristics of HSQ were studied by using different kinds of slurries and surfactant. The CMP results of polishing HSQ suggest that the hardness and charge status of the abrasive, the interaction of the surfactant with the abrasive and film surface significantly affect the polishing results.
