AbstractNanoporous Methylsilsesquioxane films are a leading candidate for low dielectric constant (low-κ) materials for microelectronic interconnect. Mechanical strength reduces rapidly with lower κ (increasing porosity) however, and there is a lack of techniques to characterize these properties in the κ∼2 range. This work reports application of surface acoustic wave spectroscopy and Brillouin light scattering to characterization of density/porosity and Young's modulus values of a range of Methylsilsesquioxane films from different manufacturers. We show that the results are validated by independent measurements and that nanoindentation measurements consistently overestimate stiffness. The behaviour of 3 sets of films show different stiffness-porosity relationships, the initially stiffer materials declining more rapidly with increasing porosity than the softer materials. This has important consequences for stiffness properties in the κ<2 region.
