  • Patent number: 9236430
    Abstract: The deposition rate of a porous insulation film is increased, and the film strength of the porous insulation film is improved. Two or more organic siloxane raw materials each having a cyclic SiO structure as a main skeleton thereof, and having mutually different structures, are vaporized, and transported with a carrier gas to a reactor (chamber), and an oxidant gas including an oxygen atom is added thereto. Thus, a porous insulation film is formed by a plasma CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) method or a plasma polymerization method in the reactor (chamber). In the step, the ratio of the flow rate of the added oxidant gas to the flow rate of the carrier gas is more than 0 and 0.08 or less.

  • Patent number: 8592303
    Abstract: There are provided with a wiring structure and a method for manufacturing the same wherein in a wiring structure of multi-layered wiring in which a metal wiring is formed on a substrate forming a semiconductor element thereby obtaining connection of the element, no damage to insulation property between the abutting wirings by occurrence of leakage current and no deterioration of insulation resistance property between the abutting wirings are achieved in case that fine metal wiring is formed in a porous insulation film. The insulation barrier layer 413 is formed between an interlayer insulation film and the metal wiring, in the metal wiring structure on the substrate forming the semiconductor element. The insulation barrier layer enables to reduce leakage current between the abutting wirings and to elevate the insulation credibility.
