摘要
The structure of the methylsiloxane spin-on-glass (SOG) film obtained by coating the SOG solution prepared from methyltriethoxysilane and dimethyoxymethyl-3,3,3-trifluoropropylsilane, followed by curing at 450 degrees C in nitrogen to decompose the trifluoropropyl group, has been characterized. Outgassing from the SOG film was small except for the organic species derived from a methyl group which began to be desorbed above 500 degrees C. The SOG film was found to consist of particulates with a diameter of several nm. No pores were found in the SOG film by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations. Pores introduced by the thermal decomposition of a trifluoropropyl group appear to be so small that the boundary between the pore and a siloxane network is ambiguous. A Si-29 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiment has revealed that new Si-O-Si bonds are formed between the two Si atoms derived from dimethyoxymethyl-3,3,3-trifluoropropylsilane after the thermal decomposition of the trifluoropropyl group.
