Dielectric Constant Films enable 32 nm device integration.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 08:34:11 -0500

Promoting reliability over porous alternatives, Dense ultra low dielectric constant (ULK) films are deposited using single precursor and do not require strict queue-time control. Ultra-violet thermal processing (UVTP) increases mechanical strength through cross-linking of bonds, and vertically etched structures can be obtained when patterning due to chemical homogeneity throughout layer. Patterning capability translates into optimized breakdown voltage and minimized leakage currents.
