Tris(trimethylsilyl)amine was employed as a single-source precursor for plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition of dielectric silicon carbonitride films, which act as copper diffusion barriers, at low-to-moderate temperatures. The influence of key process parameters—including precursor partial pressure, plasma power, and deposition temperature—on the deposition rate, chemical bonding structure, composition, and film properties was investigated using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, and spectroscopic ellipsometry. Plasma chemistry was studied by in-situ optical emission spectroscopy. The refractive index of the films ranged from 1.53 to 1.76, while their permittivity (k-value) varied from 2.7 to 4.5. Post-deposition thermal annealing reduced the permittivity to a value as low as 2.5. The Cu diffusion barrier properties were characterized by analyzing the interfaces of a Si/SiOC:H/SiCN:H/Cu stack annealed at 400°C using transmission electron microscopy
