Abstract

In one embodiment, the present invention includes introducing a conventional precursor and an organic precursor having an organic porogen into a vapor deposition apparatus; and forming a dielectric layer having the organic porogen on a substrate within the vapor deposition apparatus from the precursors. In certain embodiments, at least a portion of the organic porogen may be removed after subsequent processing, such as dual damascene processing.
