                  | (54) | Coating liquid for forming silica-based film having low dielectric constant and substrate
                     having film of low dielectric constant coated thereon | 
            
(57) The coating liquid for forming a silica-containing film with a low dielectric constant
            according to the present invention comprises: (i) fine particles of silica having
            a phenyl group thereon, and (ii') an oxidatively decomposable resin, the weight ratio
            of the fine particles of silica having a phenyl group to the oxidatively decomposable
            resin being in the range of 0.5 to 5.
By virtue of the present invention, there can be formed a stable silica-containing
            film, which has a dielectric constant as low as 3 or less, which is excellent in microphotolithography
            workability, adherence to a substrate surface, chemical resistance such as alkali
            resistance and crack resistance, and which exhibits excellent planarizing performance.
