Abstract
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device having a low-k carbon-containing dielectric layer includes: depositing a low-k carbon-containing dielectric material, which has a carbon content ranging from 16 atomic % to 23 atomic %, using a precursor mixture to form a carbon-containing dielectric layer having a k value ranging from 2.8 to 3.3 and a porosity ranging from 0.03% to 1.0%; forming the carbon-containing dielectric layer into a patterned carbon-containing dielectric layer having a recess therein by etching, the patterned carbon-containing dielectric layer having a porosity ranging from 1.0% to 2.0%; and filling the recess with an electrically conductive material to form an electrically conductive feature in the patterned carbon-containing dielectric layer.
