ABSTRACT:
A method of depositing a dielectric film exhibiting a low dielectric constant in a semiconductor and/or integrated circuit by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is provided. The film is deposited using an organosilicon precursor in a manner such that the film is comprised of a backbone made substantially of Si—O—Si or Si—N—Si groups with organic side groups attached to the backbone.
