摘要: This paper investigates the capacitance--voltage ($C$--$V$) characteristics of F doping SiCOH low dielectric constant films metal--insulator--semiconductor structure. The F doping SiCOH films are deposited by decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (DMCPS) and trifluromethane (CHF$_{3})$ electron cyclotron resonance plasmas. With the CHF$_{3}$/DMCPS flow rate ratio from 0 to 0.52, the positive excursion of $C$--$V$ curves and the increase of flat-band voltage $V_{\rm FB}$ from $-6.1$~V to 32.2~V are obtained. The excursion of $C$--$V$ curves and the shift of $V_{\rm FB}$ are related to the change of defects density and type at the Si/SiCOH interface due to the decrease of Si and O concentrations, and the increase of F concentration. At the CHF$_{3}$/DMCPS flow rate ratio is 0.12, the compensation of F-bonding dangling bond to Si dangling bond leads to a small $V_{\rm FB}$ of 2.0~V.
