Patent ID: 7312524

Claim:
A dielectric material comprising elements of Si, C, O and H, said dielectric material having a random covalently bonded tri-dimensional network structure, a dielectric constant of not more than 2.5 and a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra having a Si—O absorption band that is deconvoluted into three peaks, said elements of Si, C, O and H are derived from a first precursor having a molecular formula SiRR′R″R′″ where R,R′,R″, and R′″ are the same or different and are selected from H, alkyl, and alkoxy, and a second precursor having one of the following formulas where R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 are the same or different and are selected from hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl groups.
