Abstract

A method of forming a carbon doped oxide layer on a substrate is described. That method comprises introducing into a chemical vapor deposition apparatus a precursor gas that is selected from those having the formula (CH3)xSi(OCH3)4−x. Simultaneously, a background gas, oxygen and nitrogen are introduced into the chemical vapor deposition apparatus. That apparatus is then operated under conditions that cause a carbon doped oxide layer to form on the substrate.
