Method for forming porous forming film wiring structure
DCFirst Claim
1. A method of forming a wiring structure, comprising the steps of:
- depositing, on a substrate, an organic-inorganic hybrid film having a siloxane skeleton;
forming a resist pattern on said organic-inorganic hybrid film;
performing etching with respect to the organic-inorganic hybrid film masked with said resist pattern to form a depressed portion composed of a wire groove or a contact hole in said organic-inorganic hybrid film;
performing a plasma process using a plasma derived from a gas containing a reducing gas with respect to said resist pattern and said organic-inorganic hybrid film to remove said resist pattern and form an inter-layer dielectric which is a porous film composed of said organic-inorganic hybrid film; and
filling a metal film in the depressed portion of said inter-layer dielectric to form a buried wire or contact composed of said metal film.

Abstract
An organic-inorganic hybrid film is deposited on a substrate by introducing, into a vacuum chamber, a gas mixture of a silicon alkoxide and an organic compound and generating a plasma derived from the gas mixture. Then, a hydrogen plasma process is performed with respect to the organic-inorganic hybrid film by introducing, into the vacuum chamber, a gas containing a reducing gas and generating a plasma derived from the gas. As a result, an organic component in the organic-inorganic hybrid film eliminates therefrom and numerous fine holes are formed in hollow portions from which the organic component has eliminated, whereby a porous film composed of the organic-inorganic hybrid film is obtained.
