摘要
Hydrogen-methyl-siloxane-based porous spin-on-glass films were exposed to an oxidative plasma. The plasma exposure resulted in the loss of hydrophobic groups such as Si-H and Si-CH3. The formation of silanole groups, the decrease in film thickness, and moisture uptake were also observed. When the substrate was biased during exposure, these tendencies were found to be suppressed.
