Abstract

Oxycarbosilane materials make excellent matrix materials for the formation of porous low-k materials using incorporated pore generators(porogens). The elastic modulus numbers measured for porous samples prepared in this fashion are 3–6 times higher than porous organosilicates prepared using the sacrificial porogen route. The oxycarbosilane materials are used to produce integrated circuits for use in electronics devices.
