Abstract:
Dielectric breakdown phenomena of plasma-deposited hexamethyldisiloxane are discussed. We show that the deposition conditions and post-treatment can change the dielectric strength. A lowering of the breakdown field was attributed to reactions with oxygen species during or after deposition.
