PMSSQ (Poly Methyl Silsesquioxane)-based matrix에 BTMSE (Bis Tri Methoxy Silyl Ethane) 를 첨가한 low-k물질의 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. 우리는 절연체로 copolymer를 사용하여 금속-절연체 -실리콘 구조를 만들고 BTS 실험을 통하여 누설 전류와 파괴 시간을 측정하였다. 코 폴리머의 기공이 $30\%$ 이상이 되었을 때, 파괴 시간이 급속하게 감소되어 진다. 온도에 관하여 파괴 시간으로부터 코 폴리머를 통한 구리 확산의 활성화 에너지는 1.51eV가 측정되었다.
We investigated the electrical properties of copolymer low-k materials that are compromised of the PMSSQ(Poly Methyl Silsesquioxane)-based matrix with the BTMSE (Bis Tri Methoxy Silyl Ethane) additives. We manufactured MIS-type test samples using the copolymer as the insulator and measured their leakage current and failure time by means of the BTS (bias-temperature-stress) test. The failure time was observed to decrease drastically when the porosity of the copolymer was increased over $30\%$. From the measurement of failure time with respect to temperature. the activation energy of Cu drift through the copolymer was calculated to be 1.51 eV.
