SPECMAT, Inc. proposes todemonstrate the use of its revolutionary Room Temperature Wet Chemical Growth (RTWCG) process to grow low dielectric constant (2
Potential Commercial Applications:
Due to the high interest in developing stable low k inorganic dielectric films (e.g. for surface passivating, ultrathin gate dielectrics, IMDs and ILDs) rapid implementation of this new technology is extremely likely. Based on preliminary results, the low-cost new process has the potential to become the process of choice for many future ICs, from radiation hard ULSI for space and military applications to next generation commercial ICs.
