Abstract

A composition comprising: a polymerized substance of a compound (I) that contains m numbers of RSi(O 0.5 ) 3 units, wherein m represents an integer of from 8 to 16; and R's each independently represents a non-hydrolysable group, provided that at least two among R's represent groups containing a vinyl group or an ethynyl group, and wherein each one of the RSi(O 0.5 ) 3 units is connected to another one of the RSi(O 0.5 ) 3 units by sharing an oxygen atom in each one of the RSi(O 0.5 ) 3 units, so as to form a cage structure, and wherein within a solid component contained in the composition, a polymerized substance formed by a reaction of the compound (I) represents 60 mass % or more.

Claims (48)

1. A composition comprising:

a polymerized substance of a compound (I), wherein the compound (I) contains m numbers of RSi(O 0.5 ) 3 units,

wherein m represents an integer of from 8 to 16; and

each R independently represents a non-hydrolysable group, provided that at least two among the R groups represent groups which contain a vinyl group or an ethynyl group, and

wherein each one of the RSi(O 0.5 ) 3 units is connected to another RSi(O 0.5 ) 3 unit by sharing an oxygen atom with the RSi(O 0.5 ) 3 unit, so as to form a cage structure, and

a surfactant in an amount of from 0.01 to 1 mass % with respect to the entire amount of the composition,

wherein within a solid component contained in the composition, a polymerized substance formed by a reaction of the compound (I) represents 60 mass % or more, and

wherein the surfactant has a structure that includes the following chemical formula:

wherein R 1 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group containing 1 to 5 carbon atoms;

x represents an integer of from 1 to 20; and m and n each independently represents an integer of from 2 to 100; in which each R 1 may be the same or different.

2. The composition according to claim 1 ,

wherein a part of the solid component contained in the composition, remaining after elimination of the compound (I) on a GPC chart of the solid component, has a polystyrene- converted number-average molecular weight of from 3,000 to 300,000.

3. The composition according to claim 1 ,

wherein a part of the solid component contained in the composition, remaining after elimination of the compound (I) on a GPC chart of the solid component, has a polystyrene-converted weight-average molecular weight of from 7,000 to 1,000,000.

4. The composition according to claim 1 , which further comprises an organic solvent.

5. An insulating film forming composition comprising a composition according to claim 1 .

6. A film producing method comprising:

coating an insulating film forming composition according to claim 5 on a substrate; and
