ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a liner and/or barrier layer that will encapsulate the low k materials and act as a diffusion barrier between the low k material and the surrounding metal layers. As the temperatures of the processing sequence increase the liner and/or barrier layer will decrease the diffusion of fluorine from the low k material into the surrounding metal layers. Thus, the present invention will reduce potential corrosion problems of the metal layers.
