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 8):
The method of  claim 7 , wherein:\n the first concentration of nitrogen is less than 10 atomic percent of the low-k layer; and the concentration of carbon is less than 5 atomic percent of the low-k layer.
