IPC Code(s): H01L21/02, C23C16/40, C23C16/455

CPC Code(s): H01L21/0228



Abstract: a method for vacuum gap formation on a dielectric substrate uses area selective deposition (asd), such as atomic layer deposition (ald) or chemical vapor deposition (cvd), of a hardmask material on a substrate patterned with a self-assembled monolayer (sam) and metal features. due to the presence of the sam, the hardmask material reaches, but does not touch the metal features leaving areas that will form gaps on the resultant hardmask when the sam is removed from the substrate. etching of the dielectric substrate forms trenches in the areas of the gaps. when a non-conformal coating is deposited on the dielectric substrate, vacuum gaps form in the trenches as the non-conformal coating enters into the trenches, but closes off at the surface of the substrate prior to the complete filling of the trench.
