Abstract
Abstract A silica coating is formed on an electronic substrate by applying a silazane polymer on the substrate and converting it to silica by heating in an oxidizing environment. The resultant thick planarizing coatings are useful as protective coatings and dielectric inner layers.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
171 words
A method for depositing a silica coating on an electronic substrate comprising: applying a coating comprising a silazane polymer on an electronic substrate, wherein the silazane is selected from the containing disilane of the formula (Cl x R y Si) 2 with a disilazane of group consisting of silazanes prepared by reacting a chlorine the formula (R 3 'Si) 2 NH, wherein R is vinyl, an alkyl group of 1-3 carbon atoms or a phenyl group; R' is vinyl, hydrogen an alkyl group of 1-3 carbon atoms or a phenyl group; x has a value of 0.5-3; y has a value of 0-2.5 and the sum of x+y equals 3 and silazane polymers prepared by reacting trichlorosilane with a disilazane of the formula (R" 3 Si) 2 NH, where R" is selected from the group consisting of vinyl, hydrogen, phenyl and alkyl radicals containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms; and heating the coated substrate in an oxidizing atmosphere at a temperature sufficient to convert the silazane polymer to a silica coating.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
171 words
A method for depositing a silica coating on an electronic substrate comprising: applying a coating comprising a silazane polymer on an electronic substrate, wherein the silazane is selected from the containing disilane of the formula (Cl x R y Si) 2 with a disilazane of group consisting of silazanes prepared by reacting a chlorine the formula (R 3 'Si) 2 NH, wherein R is vinyl, an alkyl group of 1-3 carbon atoms or a phenyl group; R' is vinyl, hydrogen an alkyl group of 1-3 carbon atoms or a phenyl group; x has a value of 0.5-3; y has a value of 0-2.5 and the sum of x+y equals 3 and silazane polymers prepared by reacting trichlorosilane with a disilazane of the formula (R" 3 Si) 2 NH, where R" is selected from the group consisting of vinyl, hydrogen, phenyl and alkyl radicals containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms; and heating the coated substrate in an oxidizing atmosphere at a temperature sufficient to convert the silazane polymer to a silica coating.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
