Abstract:
Methods of preparing poly(cyanocinnamate)s are provided, with those involving mild conditions and resulting in a soluble polymer that is stable at room temperature and can be coated onto microelectronic substrates. The polymer includes at least one bis(cyanoacetate) monomer and at least one aromatic dialdehyde monomer. The polymer exhibits good thermal and structural properties and high absorbance in the UV range.
Abstract:
The invention broadly relates to cyclic olefin polymer bonding compositions and release compositions, to be used independently or together, that enable thin wafer handling during microelectronics manufacturing, especially during a full-wafer mechanical debonding process. The release compositions comprise compositions made from siloxane polymers and copolymers blended in a polar solvent, and that are stable at room temperature for longer than one month. The cyclic olefin polymer bonding compositions provide high thermal stability, can be bonded to fully-treated carrier wafers, can be mechanically or laser debonded after high-temperature heat treatment, and are easily removed with an industrially-acceptable solvent. Wafers bonded according to the invention demonstrate lower overall post-grind stack TTV compared to other commercial bonding materials and can survive 200° C. PECVD processing.

Abstract:
This invention is related to compositions that prepare substrate surfaces to enable temporary wafer bonding during microelectronics manufacturing, especially using a zonal bonding process. This invention, which comprises compositions made from fluorinated silanes blended in a polar solvent, can be used to form surface coatings or treatments having a high contact angle with water (>85°). The resulting silane solutions are stable at room temperature for longer than one month.
