Abstract

The invention relates to dielectric layers with a low dielectric constant, said layers being used to separate metallic interconnections especially during the production of integrated circuit boards (in the BEOL part of the circuit). According to the invention, the dielectric layer comprises SiC and/or SiOC, and is obtained from at least one precursor comprising at least one —Si—C<SUB>n</SUB>—Si chain where n=1.
