Abstract:
1. A method of forming a cavity between multilayered wirings, which comprises a step of coating the surface of a first dielectric film formed on a semiconductor substrate with a cyclic olefin based addition copolymer containing at least one repeating unit selected from the group consisting of repeating units represented by the following general formulae (1) to (3) and at least one repeating unit selected from the group consisting of repeating units represented by the following general formulae (4) to (7): wherein A 1 to A 4 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydrocarbon group having 1–10 carbon atoms or a halogenated hydrocarbon group having 1–10 carbon atoms; and m is 0 or 1, wherein A 1 to A 4 and m are the same as defined in the formula (1), wherein B 1 to B 4 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydrocarbon group having 1–10 carbon atoms, a halogenated hydrocarbon group having 1–10 carbon atoms, a hydrolyzable silyl group, or a polar group represented by —(CH 2 ) k X; at least one of B 1 to B 4 represents a hydrolyzable silyl group or a polar group represented by —(CH 2 ) k X; X represents —C(O)OR 21 or —OC(O)R 22 ; R 21 and R 22 each represents hydrogen, a hydrocarbon group having 1–10 carbon atoms or a halogenated hydrocarbon group having 1–10 carbon atoms; k represents an integer of 0–3; B 1 to B 4 may be a hydrocarbon ring or a heterocyclic structure formed by B 1 and B 3 or B 2 and B 4 , or an alkylidenyl, an imide or a carboxylic anhydride formed by B 1 and B 2 or B 3 and B 4 ; and p represents an integer of 0–2, wherein R 1 to R 14 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydrocarbon group having 1–10 carbon atoms or a halogenated hydrocarbon group having 1–10 carbon atoms, wherein R 1 to R 12 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydrocarbon group having 1–10 carbon atoms or a halogenated hydrocarbon group having 1–10 carbon atoms, wherein R 1 to R 16 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydrocarbon group having 1–10 carbon atoms or a halogenated hydrocarbon group having 1–10 carbon atoms, and wherein R 1 to R 20 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydrocarbon group having 1–10 carbon atoms or a halogenated hydrocarbon group having 1–10 carbon atoms, a step of patterning the cyclic olefin based addition polymer as a void-forming polymer, a step of forming a metallic wiring in the pattern formed on the void-forming polymer, a step of forming a second dielectric film on the void-forming polymer containing a metallic wiring, and a step of removing the void-forming polymer between the multilayered wirings by heating to form a cavity between the metallic wirings.
