Abstract

The application of low dieletric constant material instead of $SiO_2$ has been considered to reduce interconnection delay, crosstalk, power exhaustion. Methylsilsesquioxane (MSSQ) have a dieletric constant less than k>3 which is lower than that for the convention $SiO_2$ insulator ($k{\sim}4$). The Propose of this study is to know etching rate of MSSQ. Expermentation in this paper use RIE(Reactive ion Etching) and centre) flow rate of $CF_4/O_2$ gas, RF power.
