Abstract

An objective of the present invention is to provide a phosphorous-containing siliceous material having a specific permittivity of not more than 3.5. The phosphorus-containing silazane composition according to the present invention is characterized by comprising a polyalkylsilazane and at least one phosphorus compound in an organic solvent. A phosphorus-containing siliceous film may be formed by coating the composition onto a substrate to form a film which is then prebaked at a temperature of 50 to 300° C. and is then baked in an inert atmosphere at a temperature of 300 to 700° C. The phosphorus compound according to the present invention is preferably a pentavalent phosphoric ester or phosphazene compound.

Claims (2)

1. A phosphorus-containing silazane composition comprising a polyalkylsilazane and at least one phosphorus compound in an organic solvent wherein said phosphorus compound is tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphate.

2. A semiconductor device comprising a phosphorus-containing siliceous film comprising 0.5 to 10 atomic % of phosphorus and being produced by baking a film of a phosphorus-containing silazane composition comprising a polyalkylsilazane and at least one phosphorus compound in an organic solvent wherein said phosphorus compound is tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphate as an interlayer insulation film.
