Cu drift diffusion in two inorganic low-k materials is evaluated. The diffusion is investigated by measuring shifts in the flatband voltage of capacitance / voltage measurements on Cu gate capacitors after bias temperature 1 stressing. The Cu drift rate in SiO C (2.7 # k # 3.1) is considerably lower than in PECVD oxide. This

x y electrical method is not suited for a porous silicon resin (k ¯2.0) because of the occurrence of instabilities in the metal / dielectric. A modification of the measurement technique is required. The modification consists of 1
