Patent ID: 6858195

Claim:
A process for forming a low k fluorine and carbon-containing silicon oxide dielectric material comprising reacting with an oxidizing agent one or more silanes comprising one or more organofluoro silanes having the formula: (C x F 2x+1 )(R 1 )(R 2 )Si((L)Si(R 3 )(R 4 )) n (R 5 ) where x=1 to 5; n=1 to 5; each of the n L's is selected from O and (C(R 6 ) 2 ) m ; m=1 to 4; R 1 and R 2 are selected from the same or different leaving group and the same or different (C x F 2x+1 ); each of the n R 3 's and n R 4 's is independently selected from the same or different leaving group and the same or different (C x F 2x+1 ); R 5 is a leaving group; and each of the 2n*m or fewer R 6 's is independently selected from F and the same or different (C x F 2x+1 ).
