Abstract

A dielectric film comprising silicon, oxygen and carbon having a low dielectric constant, superior thermal stability and adhesion to commonly employed semiconductor materials is described. The film is formed from a polyorganosilane polymer applied to a substrate and subsequently cured in a two-step or three-step cure process. The film is advantageously suited for, among other things, damascene, double damascene and interlayer dielectric applications.
