Abstract
Ion beam analysis techniques have become very useful for characterization of low k materials. Studies on several ion beam analysis techniques will be discussed. Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) provides a very powerful analytical technique for the thickness and porosity measurements on porous SiO2 films. Nuclear Reaction Analysis (NRA) techniques for hydrogen and fluorine profiling are very useful to characterize fluorinated polymer and fluorinated oxide films. Examples of low k materials including SiO2:F, Parylene-AF and Teflon-AF will be discussed. Fluorine diffusion in to metals and various interface effects between metal and low k materials will be presented.
