A multi-functional cyclic siloxane compound (A), a siloxane-based
(co)polymer prepared from the compound (A), or compound (A) and at least
one of a Si monomer having organic bridges (B), an acyclic alkoxy silane
monomer (C), and a linear siloxane monomer (D); and a process for
preparing a dielectric film using the polymer. The siloxane compound of
the present invention is highly reactive, so the polymer prepared from
the compound is excellent in mechanical properties, thermal stability and
crack resistance, and has a low dielectric constant resulting from
compatibility with conventional pore-generating materials. Furthermore, a
low content of carbon and high content of SiO.sub.2 enhance its
applicability to the process of producing a semiconductor, wherein it
finds great use as a dielectric film.
