Polymer Dielectrics for Electronics

WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP A NEW SERIES OF ADVANCED POLYMERIC MATERIALS FOR A WIDE VARIETY OF ELECTRONICS APPLICATIONS. THESE NOVEL BRANCHED POLYMERS WILL BE PREPARED FROM LOW COST STARTING MATERIALS AND WILL HAVE LOW DIELECTRIC CONSTANT AND HIGH THERMAL STABILITY. POLYMERS WITH SUPERIOR ELECTRICAL, THERMAL AND MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE ARE CRITICAL FOR ADVANCED PACKAGING OF ELECTRONICS INCLUDING PRINTED WIRING BOARD (PWB) AND MULTICHIP MODULE (MCM) DIELECTRICS FOR INTERGRATED CIRCUITS, PASSIVATION LAYERS, LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) ORIENTATION LAYERS, LCD COLOR FILTERS, DIELECTRICS FOR CAPACITORS AND WIRE COATING, AND ESSENTIALLY WHEREVER ELECTRICAL INSULATION IS NEEDED. THE CHEMICAL REACTIONS TO MAKE THESE NEW POLYMERS HAVE ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED UNDER PROGRAMS AT MAXDEM DIRECTED TOWARDS STRUCTURAL RESINS. WE PROPOSE HERE TO USE THIS CHEMISTRY TO PREPARE POLYMERS WITH STRUCTURES SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THE NEEDS OF ELECTRONICS APPLICATIONS.
