Abstract:
Organic polymers for use in laminates including capacitors, wherein the polymer includes repeat units of the formula: wherein: each R1 is independently H, an aryl group, Cl, Br, I, or an organic group that includes a crosslinkable group; each R2 is independently H, an aryl group or R4; each R3 is independently H or methyl; each R5 is independently an alkyl group, a halogen, or R4; each R4 is independently an organic group that includes at least one CN group and has a molecular weight of about 30 to about 200 per CN group; and n=0-3; with the proviso that at least one repeat unit in the polymer includes an R4.
Abstract:
An organic Schottky diode includes a polycrystalline organic semiconductor layer with a rectifying contact on one side of the layer. An amorphous doped semiconductor layer is placed on the other side of the polycrystalline organic semiconductor layer, and it acts as a buffer between the semiconductor layer and an ohmic contact layer.

Abstract:
An integrated optical coupler comprises a substrate with fiber-aligning grooves and waveguiding channels and a covering with complementary grooves and, optionally, channels. These couplers can be made from reproducible masters and electroplated molds made from those masters.
Abstract:
An insulating layer in a field effect transistor is formed of superfine ceramic particles dispersed in a polymeric matrix. The characteristics of the insulating layer can be changed by varying the mix of ceramic particles and matrix components. Appropriate selection of components can provide a high dielectric constant material which is not subject to pinholes, has a high voltage breakdown and is chemically resistant. The material can be applied at relatively low processing temperatures, using a wide range of coating techniques, and is highly suited for use with polymeric substrates.
