Patent ID: 7446055

Claim:
A liquid source misted deposition process capable of producing a solid, low dielectric film on a substrate which comprises the steps: (a) providing a liquid mist of a liquid precursor solution comprised of a low dielectric organosilane source containing both Si—O and Si—C bonds and a solvent, said liquid mist existing as precursor solution droplets having a number average droplet diameter size of less than 0.5 μm and suited for deposition in said liquid source misted deposition process; (b) electrically charging said precursor solution droplets to form a liquid mist of electrically charged precursor solution droplets; (c) depositing said electrically charged precursor solution droplets onto an electrically charged substrate of opposite bias and forming a film of precursor solution droplets on said substrate; and, (d) converting said film of precursor solution droplets to a solid low dielectric film on said substrate for use in the microelectronics industry as an insulating component.
