Abstract:
Semiconductor device structures having low-k features and methods of forming low-k features are described herein. Some examples relate to a surface modification layer, which may protect a low-k feature during subsequent processing. Some examples relate to gate spacers that include a low-k feature. Some examples relate to a low-k contact etch stop layer. Example methods are described for forming such features.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method comprising:\n flowing a first precursor into a deposition chamber, the first precursor comprising silicon, carbon, and an H functional group; purging the first precursor from the deposition chamber; flowing a second precursor into the deposition chamber, the second precursor comprising oxygen, wherein the flowing the first precursor and the flowing the second precursor are part of a first cycle; and repeating the first cycle one or more times.
