Abstract

A low dielectric film forming material contains siloxane resin and polycarbosilane dissolved in solvent. By using this solution, a low dielectric film is formed which contains siloxane resin and polycarbosilane bonded to the siloxane resin. Material of a low dielectric film is provided which is suitable for inter-level insulating film material. A semiconductor device is also provided which has a low dielectric constant film and high reliability.
