Abstract

This invention relates to a semiconductor structure for dual damascene processing and includes upper and lower low k dielectric layers formed in a stack when the upper surface of the lower layer has an integral etch stop layer formed by exposing the upper surfaces of the layer H 2 plasma without any prior anneal prior to the deposition of the upper layer.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method of etching dielectric layers comprising utilizing a surface layer formed by H 2  plasma treatment of a SiCHO type material low k dielectric as an etch stop layer.  
   
   
       2 . The method as claimed in  claim 2  wherein the etching forms part of a damascene process.
