A new generation of substrate materials with low dielectric permittivity have been developed. These new ceramic-based nanocomposites consist of a quasi two-dimensional, multilayered structure realized by the intercalation of molecular species into the galleries of a host lattice. The materials have been characterized by x-ray diffraction, electronic and infrared spectroscopy. The relative permittivities vary between 2.5 and 4 at 1 MHz. The new hybrids can be processed at relatively low temperatures (below 350°C) and allow for step coverage of submicron structures.
