Dielectric Films From Organohydridosiloxane Resins With Low Organic Content

US Patent:
6358559, Mar 19, 2002
Filed:
Jun 30, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/609437
Inventors:
Nigel P. Hacker - Palo Alto CA
Scott P. Lefferts - Sunnyvale CA
Lisa K. Figge - Menlo Park CA
Michael D. Slessor - Campbell CA
Assignee:
Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
B05D 302
US Classification:
427 58, 427240, 427379, 427387
Abstract:
A method of making a dielectric film on a substrate from a composition containing an organohydridosiloxane resin is presented. The organohydridosiloxane resins have a cage conformation and up to 40 mole percent of an organic substituent. The process of making a dielectric film includes forming a solution of a solvent and the organohydridosiloxane resin, dispensing the solution on a substrate, spinning the substrate, baking the substrate to remove the solvent, and curing the substrate to form the dielectric film. The dielectric films of the present invention exhibit dielectric constants of approximately 3 or lower.

Organohydridosiloxane Resins With Low Organic Content

US Patent:
6359099, Mar 19, 2002
Filed:
Jul 3, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/610567
Inventors:
Nigel P. Hacker - San Martin CA
Scott Lefferts - Sunnyvale CA
Lisa Figge - Menlo Park CA
Assignee:
Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
C08G 7712
US Classification:
528 21, 528 31
Abstract:
An organohydridosiloxane polymer having a cage conformation, between approximately 0. 1 to 40 mole percent carbon-containing substituent, and a dielectric constant of less than about 3. 0 is disclosed. Each silicon atom of the cage polymer is bonded to at least three oxygen atoms and to either a hydrogen atom or an organic substituent. By providing such a caged structure having essentially no hydroxyl or alkoxy substituents, either on the polymer backbone or at terminal silicon atoms, essentially no chain lengthening polymerization can occur in solution. Such organohydridosiloxane resins having a molecular weight in the range from about 400 to about 200,000 atomic mass units were formed using a dual phase solvent system and either a solid phase or a phase transfer catalyst to assist the condensation of hydridotrihalosilane with at least one organotrihalosilane.

The dielectric films of the present invention exhibit dielectric constants of approximately 2. 8 or lower.

Spin-On-Glass Anti-Reflective Coatings For Photolithography

US Patent:
6365765, Apr 2, 2002
Filed:
Oct 27, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/698883
Inventors:
Teresa Baldwin - Fremont CA
Nigel Hacker - Palo Alto CA
Joseph Kennedy - San Jose CA
Richard Spear - San Jose CA
Assignee:
Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
C07F 718
US Classification:
556440, 528 40
Abstract:
Anti-reflective coating materials for deep ultraviolet photolithography include one or more organic dyes incorporated into spin-on-glass materials. Suitable dyes are strongly absorbing over wavelength ranges around wavelengths such as 248 nm and 193 nm that may be used in photolithography. A method of making dyed spin-on-glass materials includes combining one or more organic dyes with alkoxysilane reactants during synthesis of the spin-on-glass materials.

Dielectric Films For Narrow Gap-Fill Applications

US Patent:
6444495, Sep 3, 2002
Filed:
Jan 11, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/761529
Inventors:
Roger Leung - San Jose CA
Denis Endisch - Cupertino CA
Songyuan Xie - Newark CA
Nigel Hacker - Palo Alto CA
Yanpei Deng - Fremont CA
Assignee:
Honeywell International, Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
H01L 2144
US Classification:
438118, 438778
Abstract:
A colloidal suspension of nanoparticles composed of a dense material dispersed in a solvent is used in forming a gap-filling dielectric material with low thermal shrinkage. The dielectric material is particularly useful for pre-metal dielectric and shallow trench isolation applications. According to the methods of forming a dielectric material, the colloidal suspension is deposited on a substrate and dried to form a porous intermediate layer. The intermediate layer is modified by infiltration with a liquid phase matrix material, such as a spin-on polymer, followed by curing, by infiltration with a gas phase matrix material, followed by curing, or by curing alone, to provide a gap-filling, thermally stable, etch resistant dielectric material.
