Abstract

See full text

A porous insulator material and method of manufacturing. The material comprises oxygen, silicon and hydrogen characterized by a density less than 2 g/cc. Alternately, the porous insulator material is characterized by a refractive index less than 1.45 for light at a wavelength between 633 nm and 673 nm, or by a Young's modulus less than 45 GPa. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a semiconductor layer with an upper surface for device formation and forming multiple levels of interconnect over the semiconductor layer, each level including a plurality of members. The members are electrically isolated from other members by decomposition of TEOS to form a porous layer between at least some of the members.
