ABSTRACTPolyxylylene thin films grown by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process have long been utilized to achieve uniform, pinhole-free conformal coatings. They have recently been cited as possible low dielectric constant films for intermetal layers in high-speed ICs. Homopolymer films are highly crystalline and have a glass transition temperature around room temperature. We have demonstrated that room temperature copolymerization with previously untested comonomers can be achieved during the CVD process. Copolymerizing chloro-p-xylylene with perfluorooctyl methacrylate results in the dielectric constant at optical frequencies being lowered from 2.68 to 2.19. Copolymerizing p-xylylene with vinylbiphenyl resulted in films which increase the temperature at which oxidative scission occurs from 320 to 450C. Copolymerizing p-xylylene with 9-vinylanthracene resulted in a brittle, yellow film.
