ABSTRACT:
A method of reducing the number of particles on a low-k material layer is described. The low-k material layer is formed by a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process, wherein a reaction gas, a cleaning gas, a high-frequency power and a low-frequency power are used. The method includes turning off the reaction gas and the low-frequency power after the low-k material layer is formed, and continuing to provide the cleaning gas during a delay time.
