Progress on two design approaches to patternable, low k dielectrics is described. These formulations are both print in negative tone and are based on polyhedral silsesquioxanes bearing benzocyclobutene moieties. The patternability was demonstrated and both materials have dielectric constants between 2.002.22 at optical frequencies. Coefficients of thermal expansion in the plane were found to be 6.013 ppm/K, and the materials have reduced moduli between 44.6 GPa.
