摘要:
A low-dielectric-constant amorphous silica coating whose relative dielectric constant is as low as 2.5 or below and whose Young's modulus of elasticity is 6.0 GPa or higher, which low-dielectric-constant amorphous silica coating excels in hydrophobicity; and a method of forming the low-dielectric-constant amorphous silica coating. A tetraalkyl orthosilicate (TAOS) and specified alkoxysilane (AS) are hydrolyzed in the presence of a tetraalkylammonium hydroxide (TAAOH), thereby obtaining a liquid composition containing a silicon compound. Thereafter, the liquid composition is applied onto a substrate and subjected to heating and firing treatments, thereby obtaining a coating. The thus obtained coating has smooth surface and has specified pores thereinside.

A method for forming a particle layer on a substrate comprising the steps of: developing a dispersion liquid (I) obtained by dispersing in a dispersion medium solid particles surface-treated with a compound capable of forming a binder, on a liquid (II) incompatible with the dispersion medium; removing the dispersion medium from the dispersion liquid (I) to form a particle layer in which the solid particles are arranged; and transferring the particle layer onto a substrate. The method provides a substrate with a particle layer having a high adhesion to the substrate. A method for flattening an irregular substrate surface comprises the steps of: transferring the particle layer formed by the first method to an irregular surface of a substrate; and removing portions of the particle layer formed on protuberances of the substrate. A particle-layered substrate comprises a particle layer obtained by the above methods on the substrate.

A method of easily flattening an uneven surface of a substrate is provided. A fine spherical particle-containing film is formed on a smooth substrate surface, and the surface of the resultant film on the substrate and an uneven surface of a substrate are then brought into close contact with each other. Thus, the fine spherical particle-containing film is transferred to the uneven surface of the substrate, whereby the uneven surface is flattened.

A method of forming silica film of low dielectric constant on a semiconductor substrate comprises (a) applying a silica solution of low dielectric constant for film deposition on a semiconductor substrate; (b) heat-treating the resulting film at 50 to 350 degrees C; and (c) baking the film at 350 to 450 degrees C in an inactive gas atmosphere containing 500 to 15,000 ppm of oxygen by volume.
