Patent ID: 8623447

Claim:
A process for fabricating an electronic device having a dielectric layer on a substrate, comprising: depositing a dielectric composition on the substrate, the dielectric composition comprising a dielectric material, a crosslinking agent, and a thermal acid generator; and heating the dielectric composition to cure the dielectric composition, forming the dielectric layer on the substrate; wherein the dielectric material comprises a silicon-containing material selected from the group consisting of silsesquioxane, a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane, a poly(silsesquioxane), a polyacrylate comprising a silane group, a polyvinyl comprising a silane group, a polyimide comprising a silane group, a polyester comprising a silane group, a polyether comprising a silane group, a polyketone comprising a silane group, or a polysulfone comprising a silane group; and wherein the dielectric material comprises a lower-k dielectric polymer and a higher-k dielectric polymer; and wherein the silicon-containing material is the lower-k dielectric polymer.
