Patent ID: 7425346

Claim:
A method of forming a hybrid inorganic/organic dielectric layer on a substrate for use in an integrated circuit, the method comprising: forming a first dielectric layer on the substrate via chemical vapor deposition; and forming a second dielectric layer on the first dielectric layer via chemical vapor deposition; wherein one of the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer is formed from an organic polymer dielectric material comprising a repeating unit of —CZ 1 Z 2 —Ar—CZ 3 Z 4 —, where Ar is an aromatic group or a fluorine-substituted aromatic group, where Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 , and Z 4 are each one of H, F, and C 6 H 5-x F x (x=0, or an integer between 1 and 5); and wherein the other of the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer is formed from an inorganic dielectric material.
