Abstract

An intermetal level dielectric with two different low dielectric constant insulators: one for gap filling (140) within a metal level and the other (150) for between metal levels. Preferred embodiments include HSQ (140) as the gap filling low dielectric constant insulator and fluorinated silicon oxide (150) as the between metal level low dielectric constant insulator.
