Abstract:
Surface treatment processes for treating low-k dielectric materials are provided. One example implementation can include a method for processing a workpiece. The workpiece can include a silicon and carbon containing film material. The method can include treating the workpiece with a surface treatment process. The surface treatment process can include generating one or more species in a first chamber; mixing one or more hydrocarbon molecules with the species to create a mixture comprising one or more organic radicals; and exposing the silicon and carbon containing layer on the workpiece to the mixture in a second chamber.

Claim (Index 27):
The method of  claim 26 , wherein the second surface treatment process comprises:\n generating one or more species from a process gas using a plasma generated in a plasma chamber of a plasma processing apparatus; mixing one or more hydrocarbon molecules with the species to create a mixture; exposing the workpiece to the mixture in a processing chamber, the processing chamber being separated from the plasma chamber.
