Reduction of the dielectric constant k to the ultra low‐ k range is important for the continuing miniaturization of semiconductor devices. It is demonstrated that γ‐cyclodextrin can act as an effective porogen (see Figure) to reduce k while maintaining good film strength. A continuous thin pure‐silica zeolite MFI film with k = 1.8 and elastic modulus of 14 GPa is reported, prepared by spin‐on from a zeolite nanoparticle suspension.
