Abstract

A method of patterning a porous dielectric material that includes an ash process to treat the porous dielectric material. The treated porous dielectric material allows for the formation of a substantially continuous barrier layer, which can inhibit diffusion of, for example, a conductive material into to the dielectric material. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
