ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit and method for making it is described. The integrated circuit includes an insulating layer, formed within a trench that separates conductive elements of a conductive layer, that has a low dielectric constant. The insulating layer is convertible at least in part into a layer that is resistant to a plasma that may be used for a photoresist ashing step or to a solvent that may be used for a via clean step. Preferably the insulating layer comprises a silicon containing block copolymer that is convertible at least in part into a silicon dioxide layer. The silicon dioxide layer protects the remainder of the insulating layer from subsequent processing, such as photoresist ashing and via clean steps.
