Abstract: To provide a composition for the formation of insulating films that can form an insulating film having a low dielectric constant. The composition comprises (A) an electrically insulating curable resin selected from the group consisting of electrically insulating curable organic resins and electrically insulating curable inorganic resins; and (B) at least two solvents: (B)(i) a solvent capable of dissolving resin (A) and (B)(ii) a solvent whose boiling point or vapor pressure curve differs from that of solvent (B)(i) or whose affinity for resin (A) differs from that of solvent (B)(i). Also claimed is a method for forming a insulating films that have a dielectric constant of less than 2.7.
