A method and structure for sealing porous dielectrics using silane coupling reagents is herein described. A sealant chain (silane coupling reagent) is formed from at least silicon, carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen and exposed to a porous dielectric material, wherein the sealant chain reacts with a second...http://www.google.de/patents/US7456490?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US7456490 - Sealing porous dielectrics with silane coupling reagents
