Abstract
In this work low-energy Ar impacts on low- k surfaces were simulated with ab initio density functional theory method. The obtained results reveal the mechanism of CH3-group removal under Ar atom/ion irradiation; the threshold energy of this process was estimated. Keywords: low-k dielectrics, functionalization, simulation, diffusion barriers, methyl groups.
