AbstractAURORA films, which have a Si-O-Si network with –CH3 terminations, were characterized and integrated into Cu single damascene structures. The relatively low carbon concentration (∼ 20%) and the very small pore size (∼ 0.6 nm) found could be advantageous during integration of AURORA. Integration of AURORA into Cu single damascene structures was successfully achieved. Suitable resist strip processes, which are critical for Si-O-C type materials, were developed, resulting in trenches with satisfactory profiles. After a complete single damascene process, a interline dielectric constant value of 2.7 was found for line spacing down to 0.25 µm.

ABSTRACTThe material properties of two ultra low-k organic polymers are characterized for copper interconnect integration. The k-values are 2.2-2.3 for both. Compared to OSG materials of similar k-values, these polymers have lower porosity and smaller pore size, achieved using selfassembled chemistry. Both materials demonstrate excellent resistance to plasma damage: no water uptake was detected after exposure to selected etching plasmas. This characteristic, combined with the small pore size and low porosity, results in the successful integration of the organic low-ks in 80 nm spacing with no significant increase in the integrated k-values.It is found that higher open porosity in polymer A is accompanied by higher leakage current, which is not however linked to lower dielectric breakdown lifetimes.

Since the application of silicon materials in electronic devices in the 1950s, microprocessors are continuously getting smaller, faster, smarter, and larger in data storage capacity. One important factor that makes progress possible is decreasing the dielectric constant of the insulating layer within the integrated circuit (IC). Nevertheless, the evolution of interlayer dielectrics (ILDs) is not driven by a single factor. At first, the objective was to reduce the dielectric constant (k). Reduction of the dielectric constant of a material can be accomplished by selecting chemical bonds with low polarizability and introducing porosity. Moving from silicon dioxide, silsesquioxane-based materials, and silica-based materials to porous silica materials, the industry has been able to reduce the ILDs’ dielectric constant from 4.5 to as low as 1.5. However, porous ILDs are mechanically weak, thermally unstable, and poorly compatible with other materials, which gives them the tendency to absorb chemicals, moisture, etc. All these features create many challenges for the integration of IC during the dual-damascene process, with plasma-induced damage (PID) being the most devastating one. Since the discovery of porous materials, the industry has shifted its focus from decreasing ILDs’ dielectric constant to overcoming these integration challenges. More supplementary precursors (such as Si-C-Si structured compounds), deposition processes (such as NH3 plasma treatment), and post porosity plasma protection treatment (P4) were invented to solve integration-related challenges. Herein, we present the evolution of interlayer dielectric materials driven by the following three aspects, classification of dielectric materials, deposition methods, and key issues encountered and solved during the integration phase. We aim to provide a brief overview of the development of low-k dielectric materials over the past few decades.

Objective: The study was conducted to evaluate the anti-aging and anti-acne effect of and aliman ethanolic extract (AEE) in the form of peel off gel mask (PGM) on human skin. Methods: The formulation of PGM base was consisted of polyvinyl alcohol, glycerine, methylparaben, propylparaben, Carbomer 940, and distilled water (blank). The AEE (30%) was formulated in the PGM base and labeled as F1. The anti-aging and anti-acne tests were conducted by comparing the blank and the F1. The evaluation of anti-aging activity was conducted using skin analyzer apparatus. The aging parameters were moisture, evenness, pore size, black spot, and wrinkle of the skin. The anti-acne evaluation was conducted on color, shape, volume, and number of acne. The data were collected for 4 weeks. Results: The anti-aging evaluation of andaliman PGM showed that the and AEE PGM could pretend the skin moisture, skin evenness, small pore size, and declined in number of black spot and wrinkle. The anti-acne evaluation showed the healing of acne after 4 weeks treatment. Conclusion: It is concluded that and AEE PGM can be used as an effective anti-aging and anti-acne dosage form.

The microporous on spinneret has the characteristics of high precision, small pore size and large quantity. Spinneret microporous finishing operation is mainly used for removing the burr formed on the spinneret silk surface after micropores drilling and punching. The burrs seriously affect the quality of the spinning fibers. Micropore spinneret finishing plays a vital role in improving the quality of processing micropore. This paper introduces a system consisting of the spinneret micropore fine machine,then focuses on fine machine positioning system and proposes a high-precision positioning method of the microporous.
