The compatibility of chemical solutions with different pH is studied on microporous silica-based (SiOCH) and mesoporous methylsilsesquioxane (MSQ) based low-k materials. The surface and bulk properties of as-deposited and O2/CF4 plasma-treated low-k films have been studied after several wet treatments.
