Abstract
Abstract An organopolysilsesquioxane having lower alkyl groups and alkenyl groups and, if necessary, aryl groups and/or hydrogen atoms bonded as the side chains can be produced by adding water to a solution of a lower-alkyltrihalosilane, an alkenyltrihalosilane, and, if necessary, an aryltrihalosilane and/or a trihalosilane in an organic solvent, and heating the resulting mixture. The aforesaid organopolysilsesquioxane can be used for forming a patterned surface-protecting layer or insulating layer for a semiconductor device, optionally in the form of a mixture with a compound which generates a crosslinking-reaction-active species upon irradiation with light or ionizing radiation.
