Abstract
Processes for curing silicon based low k dielectric materials generally includes exposing the silicon based low k dielectric material to ultraviolet radiation in an inert atmosphere having an oxidant in an amount of about 10 to about 500 parts per million for a period of time and intensity effective to cure the silicon based low k dielectric material so to change a selected one of chemical, physical, mechanical, and electrical properties and combinations thereof relative to the silicon based low k dielectric material prior to the ultraviolet radiation exposure. Also disclosed herein are silicon base low k dielectric materials substantially free of sub-oxidized SiO species.
