A Sr-based metal–organic framework exhibits an intrinsic low dielectric constant after removing the water molecules. A low dielectric constant and high thermal stability make this compound a candidate for use as a low-k material.

AbstractDielectric properties have been measured for a series of porous and fully densified silica glasses, prepared by the sol-gel technique starting from Si-methoxide or Si-fume. The results for the partially densified glasses do not show any preferred orientation for porosity. When fully densified (˜2.25 gms/cc) without any prior treatment of the gels, they have dielectric constants of ≥ 6.5 and loss factors of 0.002 at 1 MHz, compared to values of 3.8 and <0.001 for commercial fused silica. There is no corresponding anomaly in the d.c. resistivity. Elemental carbon present to the extent of 400–500 ppm is likely to be the main cause for this enhanced dielectric constant. Extensive cleaning of the gels prior to densification to remove this carbon were not completely successful pointing to the difficulty in preparing high purity, low dielectric constant glasses via the organic sol-gel route at least in the bulk form.

ABSTRACTA modem VLSI device is a complicated three-dimensional structure that consists of multilayer metallization conductor lines which are separated with interlayer-dielectrics as insulation. This VLSI technology drives the IC device into sub-micron feature size that operates at ultra-fast speed (in excess of > 100 MHz). Passivation and interlayer dielectric materials are critical to the device performance due to the conductor signal propagation delay of the high dielectric constant of the material. Low dielectric constant materials are the preferred choice of materials for this reasons. These materials, such as Teflon® and siloxanes (silicones), are desirable because of their low dielectric constant (∈1) = 2.0, 2.7, respectively. This paper describes the use of a low dielectric constant siloxane polymer (silicone) as IC devices passivation layer material, its chemistry, material processes and reliability testing.

Scaling down the integrated circuits has resulted in the arousal of number of problems like interaction between interconnect, crosstalk, time delay etc. These problems can be overcome by new designs and by use of corresponding novel materials, which may be a solution to these problems. In the present paper we try to put forward very recent development in the use of novel materials as interlayer dielectrics (ILDs) having low dielectric constant (k) for CMOS interconnects. The materials presented here are porous and hybrid organo-inorganic new generation interlayer dielectric materials possessing low dielectric constant and better processing properties.

(Ca0.9Mg0.1)SiO3ceramics possess a low dielectric constant and a highQfvalue, however, the densification temperature of (Ca0.9Mg0.1)SiO3ceramics is higher than 1280°C. In this paper, the effect of Li2CO3addition on sinterability and dielectric properties of (Ca0.9Mg0.1)SiO3ceramics were studied. The phase presence and surface morphology were determined by XRD and SEM techniques, respectively. CaSiO3and Ca2MgSi2O7phases were observed. With the addition of >2.0 wt% Li2CO3, the sintering temperature of (Ca0.9Mg0.1)SiO3ceramic was significantly lowered, reaching to 1070°C. (Ca0.9Mg0.1)SiO3ceramics with 4wt% Li2CO3sintered at 1070°C for 3 h shows excellent dielectric properties:εr=5.91,Qf= 15300GHz (at 10GHz).

Ceramics with low dielectric constant are widely used in high frequency substrates. The low temperature sintered CaMg0.9-xNa2xLi0.2Si2O6(x = 0–0.05 and 0.1) ceramics with low dielectric constant and dielectric loss were prepared by the traditional solid-state reaction method, with 0.5wt%LBSCA additive. The XRD patterns of the samples were obtained by X-ray diffraction and it was found that there were three ceramic components, CaMgSi2O6, CaSiO3 and Na2MgSiO4, which indicated that the experimental sample was a multiphase ceramic system. Through the trend of bulk density as functions of the content of substitution and the change of SEM morphology, it could be found that appropriate amount of Na+ substitution can promote the grain growing and the densification of ceramics. Results demonstrated that both the Q × f and εr were relevant to bulk density and the second phase. The τf was also affected by the second phase to some extent. In particular, the ceramics sintered at 925 °C for 3h possessed the desirable microwave dielectric properties for LTCC application: εr = 7.03, Q × f = 17,956 GHz, and τf= −79 ppm/°C.

ABSTRACTSpin-on glasses, generated by the condensation of an organic-inorganic hybrid silsesquioxane (SSQ), have great potential as low dielectric-constant semiconductor interconnection materials. After curing and condensation SSQ materials consist of an amorphous, inorganic, –Si–O-Sibridging network with organic, non-bridging –Si–R side groups. Relative dielectric constants in the range 2.5–3.3 are obtained for SSQ materials, depending on the curing conditions, and compare with 4.0 for conventionally-used fused silica. The non-bridging side groups significantly disrupt the SSQ network—occupying more than 25% of the Si bonds—and lead to materials that are considerably less stiff, hard and tough than fused silica. Perhaps more importantly, SSQ materials have thermal expansion coefficients greater than that of the intended Si substrate and therefore finish curing in a state of residual tension, leading to a susceptibility to stress-corrosion cracking. In this paper the development of thermomechanical properties during curing of SSQ spin-on glasses is considered and related to the driving force for film cracking deriving from the residual tension. Various crack suppression schemes involving mechanisms both intrinsic and extrinsic to the base SSQ are discussed.
