A method of forming a structure. The method including: forming a layer of
a polymerizable composition including one or more polyhedral
silsesquioxane oligomers each having one or more polymerizable groups,
one or more polymerizable diluents, one or more photoacid generators
and/or one or more photoinitiators; pressing a surface of a template
having a relief pattern into the layer, the template, the layer filling
voids in the relief pattern; polymerizing the layer to have thick and
thin regions corresponding to the relief pattern; removing the template;
removing the thin regions of the dielectric layer; and either curing the
layer to create a porous dielectric layer followed by filling spaces
between the thick regions of the porous dielectric layer with an
electrically conductive material or filling spaces between the thick
regions of the dielectric layer with an electrically conductive material
followed by curing the dielectric layer to create a porous dielectric
layer.
