Abstract
A new type of organic-inorganic hybrid copolymer with low dielectric constant κ was synthesized by i) platinum catalyzed hydrosilylation of H8Si8O12, T8H and (HSiMe2O)8Si8O12, Q8M8H with hexadiene or ii) hydrolytic condensation of [(EtO)3Si(CH2)2]8- Si8O12, T8R and [(EtO)3Si(CH2)2SiMe2O]8- Si8O12, Q8M8R with water. Copolymer films were fabricated by spin-coating techniques. Dielectric constant measurements showed that the new copolymers have a relatively low κ (2.1-2.7) compared to the reference data. Properties such as film adhesion and hardness were found to be closely correlated with the length of cross linker. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that all copolymer films are planar and flat.
