Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a protective film. The protective film is produced by alternate coating of a polysilazane-based polymer and a flexible polysiloxane-based polymer. The polysilazane-based polymer is cured at low temperature to form silica, thereby achieving high hardness and high light transmittance. The protective film has improved interfacial adhesion between the respective coating films, which prevents permeation of moisture and oxygen. In addition, the protective film can be easily produced by low-temperature wet processes. Also disclosed herein is an encapsulation material comprising the protective film.
Abstract:
A CNT transparent electrode may have a CNT layer consisting essentially of CNT only, together with a cover layer that may include conductive particles and a polymer. The cover layer may cover an upper and/or a lower portion of the CNT layer. The CNT transparent electrode including the CNT layer which essentially consists of CNT only and does not contain other materials such as a binder or a dispersing agent can exhibit excellent conductivity. When the CNT layer is covered by the cover layer, surface roughness, film uniformity, adhesion between the CNT transparent electrode and the substrate and stability in the process of applying the CNT transparent electrode to devices can be enhanced, compared to the case where only the CNT layer is used.
Abstract:
A novel multi-functional linear siloxane compound, a siloxane polymer prepared from the siloxane compound, and a process for forming a dielectric film by using the siloxane polymer. The linear siloxane polymer has enhanced mechanical properties (e.g., modulus), superior thermal stability, a low carbon content and a low hygroscopicity and is prepared by the homopolymerization of the linear siloxane compound or the copolymerization of the linear siloxane compound with another monomer. A dielectric film can be produced by heat-curing a coating solution containing the siloxane polymer which is highly reactive. The siloxane polymer prepared from the siloxane compound not only has satisfactory mechanical properties, thermal stability and crack resistance, but also exhibits a low hygroscopicity and excellent compatibility with pore-forming materials, which leads to a low dielectric constant. Furthermore, the siloxane polymer retains a relatively low carbon content but a high SiO2 content, resulting in its improved applicability to semiconductor devices. Therefore, the siloxane polymer is advantageously used as a material for dielectric films of semiconductor devices.
Abstract:
A multi-functional cyclic silicate compound, a siloxane-based polymer prepared from the silicate compound and a process of producing an insulating film using the siloxane-based polymer. The silicate compound of the present invention is highly compatible with conventional pore-generating substances and hardly hygroscopic, so it is useful for the preparation of a siloxane-based polymer suitable to a SOG process. Furthermore, a film produced by the use of such siloxane-based polymer is excellent in mechanical properties, thermal stability and crack resistance and enhanced in insulating properties by virtue of its low hygroscopicity. Therefore, in the field of semiconductor production, this film is of great use as an insulating film.

Abstract:
A method of fabricating a liquid film is provided. The method comprises the steps of applying hydrophilic liquid onto a substrate with an electrode formed thereunder, covering the hydrophilic liquid with a protection film comprising hydrophobic liquid, dispersing surfactant for reducing the surface tension between the hydrophilic liquid and the protection film, and applying voltage to the hydrophilic liquid and the electrode to wet the substrate with the hydrophilic liquid. With the surfactant and the electro-wetting principle, a contact angle between the hydrophilic liquid and the substrate is controlled. The liquid film having a uniform thickness in nano size is thus formed on the substrate. The protection film prevents the evaporation of the liquid film in the air to thereby secure the stability of the liquid film.
