Patent ID: 7015168

Claim:
A low dielectric constant fluorine and carbon-doped silicon oxide dielectric material for use in an integrated circuit structure comprising the reaction product of an oxidizing agent and one or more silanes comprising one or more organofluoro silanes having the formula SiR 1 R 2 R 3 R 4 , wherein: (a) R 1 is selected from the group consisting of H, a 3 to 5 carbon organo moiety, and an oxyorgano moiety; (b) R 2 is an organofluoro moiety; and (c) R 3 and R 4 are independently selected from the group consisting of the same or different leaving group, the same or different organofluoro moiety, and the same or different organofluoro moiety, and the same or different ((L)Si(R 5 )(R 6 )) n (R 7 ); wherein n ranges from 1 to 5; L is O or (C(R 8 ) 2 )m; m ranges from 1 to 4; each of the n R 5 's and n R 6 's is independently selected from the group consisting of the same or different leaving group and the same or different organofluoro moiety; R 7 is selected from the group consisting of a leaving group and an organofluoro moiety; and each of the 2n*m or fewer R 8 's is selected from the group consisting of F and the same or different organofluoro moiety; and further characterized by: (d) each silicon atom is bonded to at least 1 oxygen atom; (e) silicon atoms bonded to carbon atoms; (f) at least 1 carbon atom bonded to 1 to 2 fluorine atoms; and; (g) the presence of at least 1 C—C bond.
