摘要:
Processes for producing gel compositions comprising: esterifying a portion of the surface of a gel composition sufficient to produce a gel composition having a rod density of less than or equal to 0.15 g/cc, and/or a tap density of less than or equal to 0.2 g/cc through contact with at least one esterification agent and at least one catalyst. The processes may be utilized to produce low density gel compositions without the need for a supercritical drying step or thermal treatment.
摘要:
Disclosed are processes for producing gel composition which may be utilized to produce low density gel compositions without the need for supercritical drying, thermal treatment or surface treatment. The processes comprise drying a wet gel comprising gel solids and a drying agent to remove the drying agent while minimizing shrinkage of the gel during drying.

The invention relates to nanoporous dielectric films and to a process for their manufacture. Such films are useful in the production of integrated circuits. Such films are produced from a precursor of an alkoxysilane; a relatively low volatility solvent composition comprising an ether of a C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkylene glycol which is miscible in water and alkoxysilanes, having a hydroxyl concentration of 0.021 mole/cm.sup.3 or less, a boiling point of about 175 .degree. C. or more at atmospheric pressure and a weight average molecular weight of about 100 or more; a relatively high volatility solvent composition having a boiling point below that of the relatively low volatility solvent composition; optional water and an optional catalytic amount of an acid.
摘要:
A structure suitable for partial or full use in a spacer (24) of a flat-panel display has a porous face (54). The structure may be formed with multiple aggregates (100) of coated particles (102) bonded together in an open manner to form pores (58). A coating (88) consisting primarily of carbon and having a highly uniform thickness may extend into pores of a porous body (46). The coating can be created by removing non-carbon material from carbon-containing species provided along the pores. A solid porous film (82) whose thickness is normally no more than 20 &mgr;m has a resistivity of 108-1014 ohm-cm. A spacer for a flat-panel display contains a support body (80) and an overlying, normally porous, layer (82) whose resistivity is greater parallel to a face of the support body than perpendicular to the body's face.
摘要:
Improved processes for forming hydrophobic nanoporous dielectric coatings on substrates are provided. The improved processes involve forming a reaction mixture that combines at least one mono-, di- or trifunctional precursor with at least one tetrafunctional precursor, recovering the reaction product, and then depositing the reaction product onto a suitable substrate, followed by gelling of the deposited film. Precursors include alkoxy, acetoxy and halogen leaving groups. Optional processes to enhance the hydrophobicity of a nanoporous silica film are also provided, as well as improved nanoporous silica films, coated substrates and integrated circuits prepared by the new processes
摘要:
A process for treating silica dielectric film on a substrate, which includes reacting a suitable hydrophilic silica film with an effective amount of a multifunctional surface modification agent. The film is present on a substrate and optionally has a pore structure with hydrophilic pore surfaces, and the reaction is conducted for a period of time sufficient for said surface modification agent to penetrate said pore structure and produce a treated silica film having a dielectric constant of about 3 or less, wherein the surface modification agent is hydrophobic and suitable for silylating or capping silanol moieties on such hydrophilic surfaces. Dielectric films and integrated circuits including such films are also disclosed.
