A method of producing a nanoporous silica dielectric film having a void volume of about 30% or less based on the total volume of the nanoporous silica dielectric film, and having a dielectric constant of about 2.2 or less. A silicon containing pre-polymer is provided, which is capable of forming a film having a dielectric constant of about 2.8 or less. It is then combined with a porogen, and a metal-ion-free catalyst selected from the group consisting of onium compounds and nucleophiles, to thereby form a composition. A layer of the composition is coated on to a substrate, crosslinked to form a gelled film, and heated to remove substantially all of the porogen and to thereby produce a nanoporous silica dielectric film of the invention.
