Abstract:
The present invention concerns a method of making a porous material comprising the following steps in the order a-b-c-d: (a) reacting at least one organosilane (A) with water in the presence of a solvent (C) to form a polymeric material, (b) subjecting said polymeric material to a first heat treatment, (c) bringing said polymeric material into contact with at least one dehydroxylation agent (D), (d) subjecting said polymeric material to electromagnetic radiation and/or to a further heat treatment. The present invention furthermore concerns the porous material obtainable by the inventive method, semiconductor devices and electronic components comprising said porous material, and the use of said material for electrical insulation and in microelectronic devices, membranes, displays and sensors.
