    • An improved method and structure is provided for integrating HSQ and other low dielectric constant materials, which may have undesirable properties, into integrated circuit structures and processes, especially those requiring multiple levels of interconnect lines. The present invention combines the advantages of SiO.sub.2 and low dielectric constant materials by creating a multilayer dielectric stack of alternating layers of low-k materials and traditional dielectrics. A stabilizing layer is inserted between layers of low-k films. Since the thickness of problematic low-k materials remain less than the cracking threshold, many of the problems discussed above are alleviated. The stabilizing prevents the nucleation and propagation of micro cracks. In a preferred embodiment, interconnect lines 14 are first patterned and etched on a substrate 10. A low-k material such as hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) 18 is spun across the surface of the wafer to fill areas between interconnect lines. The HSQ is then heated on a hot plate to cure. A thin dielectric stabilizing layer such as SiO.sub.2 20 can then be applied to on top of the low-k material. A thick SiO.sub.2 planarization layer 22 may then be applied and planarized. In other embodiments, the HSQ and SiO.sub.2 process steps can be repeated for multiple layers of HSQ.
    • 提供了一种改进的方法和结构,用于将HSQ和其它可能具有不期望的性质的其它低介电常数材料整合到集成电路结构和工艺中,特别是需要多层互连线的那些。 本发明通过产生低k材料和传统电介质的交替层的多层电介质堆叠来组合SiO 2和低介电常数材料的优点。 将稳定层插入低k膜的层之间。 由于有问题的低k材料的厚度仍然小于裂纹阈值,所以上述问题的许多都得到了缓解。 稳定防止微裂纹的成核和扩散。 在优选实施例中,互连线14首先被图案化并蚀刻在衬底10上。低k材料例如氢倍半硅氧烷(HSQ)18跨越晶片的表面旋转以填充互连线之间的区域。 然后将HSQ加热到热板上以固化。 然后可以将诸如SiO 2 20的薄介电稳定层施加到低k材料的顶部。 然后可以施加和平坦化厚的SiO 2平坦化层22。 在其他实施例中,可以针对多层HSQ重复HSQ和SiO 2工艺步骤。
