Abstract

A method of forming a thermally stable organosilicon polymer includes: (i) depositing an organosilicon polymer whose backbone is composed of silicon atoms on a substrate using a silicon-containing precursor in a reaction space; and (ii) exposing the organosilicon polymer deposited in step (i) to a hydrogen plasma in the absence of the precursor in the reaction space in a manner increasing Si—H bonds and decreasing C—H bonds in the organosilicon polymer without depositing an organosilicon polymer.
