A semiconductor device and method of manufacture comprise forming a channel-less, porous low K material. The material may be formed using a silicon backbone precursor and a hydrocarbon precursor to form a matrix material. The material may then be cured to remove a porogen and help to collapse channels within the material. As such, the material may be formed with a scaling factor of less than or equal to about 1.8.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to semiconductor structure formation are described. An example apparatus includes a structural material for a semiconductor device. The structural material includes an orthosilicate derived oligomer having a number of oxygen (O) atoms each chemically bonded to one of a corresponding number of silicon (Si) atoms and a chemical bond formed between an element from group 13 of a periodic table of elements (e.g., B, Al, Ga, In, and Tl) and the number of O atoms of the orthosilicate derived oligomer. The chemical bond crosslinks chains of the orthosilicate derived oligomer to increase mechanical strength of the structural material, relative to the structural material formed without the chemical bond to crosslink the chains, among other benefits described herein.

According to one or more embodiments, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes alternately stacking a first film and a second film on an object to form a multilayer film, then forming a stacked body and a recess by partially removing the multilayer film. A dielectric layer is then formed by applying a composite material to the recess to fill the recess with the dielectric layer. The composite material includes an inorganic material and an organic material. The dielectric layer is then exposed to an oxidizing gas to oxidize the inorganic material and to remove at least part of the organic material from the dielectric layer.
