Jt. Beechinor et al., OPTICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THIN-FILM BENZOCYCLOBUTENE (BCB) BASED POLYMERS, Microelectronic engineering, 33(1-4), 1997, pp. 363-368
Optical properties of benzocyclobutene (BCB)-based polymer films depos
ited on Si are characterised using variable angle spectroscopic ellips
ometry (VASE) as a function of spin and cure parameters. Thicknesses e
xtracted from VASE are correlated to scanning electron microscopy (SEM
) analysis. The extent of cure and heat Bow characteristics of these f
ilms as a function of process parameters are extracted from Fourier tr
ansform infra-red (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) m
easurements.
