Abstract
We investigated water permeation properties into silicon oxide (SiO 2) and chemically modified SiO 2 films. The water permeability of fluorinated SiO 2 (SiOF) is higher than that of SiO 2, indicating that SiOF may have fast diffusion paths constructed from SiOF structures formed by the breaking of SiOSi networks by F atoms. It is suggested that the presence of these fast diffusion paths can explain the reason for the high water permeability of various kinds of SiOF and other low-k films.
