Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for forming a VIA in an Inter Metal Dielectric (IMD) containing Spin On Glass (SOG). The IMD is formed by 1) depositing a first silicon dioxide layer through a Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) process; 2) depositing a Spin On Glass (SOG) layer; and 3) depositing a second silicon dioxide layer through a Chemical Vapor Deposition process. Afterward, before the VIA is formed by an Inter Metal Dielectric (IMD) etching process, a selective ion implantation process is performed to densify the Spin On Glass(SOG) layer. By this arrangement, the outgassing effect of the Spin On Glass (SOG) during a subsequent metal deposition process can be therefore prevented.
